Nganioni to start professional career with Lyon

Xinhua, July 4, 2015 Adjust font size:

Ligue 1 giants Lyon on Friday announced that French defender Louis Nganioni will start his senior career as he signed his first professional contract with Lyon.

The France Under-20 international, who came through Lyon youth system, signed a three-year deal. Lyon drafted him in 2010.

Nganioni was a regular at Under-20 level as the team capped him seven times. He has no chance so far to play in Ligue 1, though he played in several pre-season matches last year.

As Ligue 1 runners-up of last year, Lyon will compete in the Champions League next season. Lyon have completed several summer signings to strengthen the team, such as defender Jeremy Morel from Marseille, winger Claudio Beauvue from Guingamp. Endit
