Loïc Crédoz was born on 17 May 1999 in Annecy, France and grew up in Montrevel-en-Bresse. He began junior career at RC du Canton de Montrevel-en-Bresse (2007–2014) before joining the Oyonnax Rugby academy (2014–2020). [1]
Crédoz made his professional debut for Oyonnax on 31 August 2018, against Valence Romans Drôme Rugby, during the 2019–20 Rugby Pro D2 season. [2] His impact was immediate, as he scored his first professional try in that match. [2]
Over the next few seasons, Crédoz became a key player for Oyonnax, appearing in 115 matches and scoring 75 points. [3]
