Early life

Louis Appéré was born in Perth on 26 March 1999.[2] He grew up in Cupar, Fife, where he attended Bell Baxter High School.[3] He started playing football for East Fife Junior Supporters' Club at the age of 9 and later spent two years as a youth player with Dunfermline Athletic.[2] He then joined Cupar-based AM Soccer, progressing through from the youth system.[3]

Playing career

Appéré began the 2015–16 season playing youth football, before progressing to AM Soccer's adult amateur team as well as appearing as a trialist for Raith Rovers' under-20 development team.[3] In May 2016 he went to Italy for a trial with A.S. Roma after AM Soccer owner Austin MacPhee brought a YouTube video of the player to Roma's attention.[4] In July 2016, Appéré signed for Scottish Championship club Dundee United, whose manager Ray McKinnon had previously had him on trial at Raith.[5]
