Career

Youth career

Le Marchand was born in the port city of Saint-Malo in Brittany and began his youth football career with his hometown club, Saint-Malo. In 2000, he joined the prestigious youth academy of Rennes. Upon arriving at the club, Le Marchand initially joined as a left-sided midfielder, but eventually moved to the left-back role. After ascending the youth ranks, he added the left winger position into his arsenal often playing both positions in dual roles. Between 2006 and 2008, he was frustrated by injuries to his ankle, but was still able to celebrate Rennes's capturing of the under-18 championship for the 2006–07 season, and the Coupe Gambardella in 2008 alongside his Rennes teammates Yann M'Vila, Damien Le Tallec, and Yacine Brahimi.

[6] At Le Havre, he was assigned the number 21 shirt. On 7 August 2009, he made his professional first team debut in the club's 1–1 Ligue 2 away draw with Sedan, playing the entire match. [7] [8] He scored his first competitive goal for the club's first team, on 30 August 2009, in their 1–1 Ligue 2 away draw with Vannes. [9] After a successful season on loan with Le Havre, on 23 June 2010, Le Marchand signed permanently for the club. [10]

Seven days later, he scored in the 42nd minute to register his first competitive goal for Nice in the 3–3 Ligue 1 away draw with Troyes. [7]

On 2 November 2017, Le Marchand scored an own goal three minutes into second-half added time in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League group stage 1–0 loss to Lazio, causing Nice to slump to their sixth straight defeat in all competitions. [12]
