Dimitri Foulquier (born 23 March 1993) is a French footballer who plays in for Spanish club Getafe CF on loan from English club Watford, and previously for the France national under-21 football team as a right back.[2]

Club career

Born in Sarcelles, Foulquier was raised in Capesterre, a commune in the overseas region and department of Guadeloupe.[3]

Rennes

After excelling with local clubs in the commune, he was spotted by Rennes scout Patrick Rampillon and, subsequently, joined the professional club in July 2007.[3][4]

Foulquier was awarded the Best Academy Player award for the 2009–10 season.[2] After appearing on the bench in matches during the 2010–11 season,[3] he was promoted to the senior team by manager Frédéric Antonetti for the 2011–12 season. Foulquier was assigned the number 24 shirt and made his professional debut on 2 October 2011 in a league match against Lille, starting but being replaced on the half-time in the eventual 0–2 away loss.[5]

Granada

On 27 August 2013, Foulquier was loaned to La Liga side Granada.[6] He made his debut in the competition on 30 September, replacing Michael Pereira in a 2–0 home win against Athletic Bilbao.[7]

On 25 May 2014, the Andalusians bought Foulquier outright, for a €2 million fee, with the player signing a five-year deal.[8]

Watford

Foulquier signed for Watford on 25 August 2017[9], but was immediately loaned out to Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg for the remainder of the 2017–18 Season.[10]

On 23 August 2018, Foulquier returned to Spain and its first division after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Getafe CF.[11]

International career

Foulquier is a France youth international, having represented his country at under-18 through under-21 levels, including winning the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup, in which he scored in the penalty shoot-out in the final.[12]
