Career

Though born in Béziers, Clément was raised in Rives, Isère, where his parents still live.

Clément, who was formed by and started his career at Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais, joined Rangers on 7 July 2006 on a three-year contract after a £1.1 million deal was agreed between the two clubs. In joining Rangers, Clément linked up with his former Lyon manager Paul Le Guen and former assistant manager Yves Colleu. Both departed the club in January 2007.

Paul Le Guen's new club Paris Saint-Germain entered the race to sign him as did Lyon, the club Rangers had purchased Clément from in the summer. On 25 January 2007, the Rangers official website confirmed Clément had re-joined Le Guen at PSG, turning down Lyon in the process. The fee was believed to be around £1.8 million.

In July 2011, Clément signed for AS Saint-Étienne.[1]

In June 2019, after two seasons with AS Nancy, he agreed a move to fifth-tier side FC Bourgoin-Jallieu.[2]

In April 2020, after his club's season had been ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Clement announced his retirement from playing.[3][4]

Personal life

Clément was tested for Swine flu H1N1 virus in October 2009 along with two PSG teammates, Ludovic Giuly and Mamadou Sakho.[5] This led to the league postponing Marseille's match with Paris Saint-Germain.[5]
