Julie Martine Thibaud (born 20 April 1998) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defender for Women's Super League club Leicester City and the France national team.
Career
[edit]Thibaud started playing football at a tiny club called AS Échiré Saint-Gelais in Saint-Gelais, but she had to move aged 15, as her club did not have any women's team and she had been playing with the boys until then.[2] She then joined ASJ Soyaux, before going to the FC Girondins de Bordeaux in 2017.[3]
Thibaud was called up to the France national team for the first time by Corinne Diacre on 10 September 2020.[4]
On 31 August 2023, Thibaud signed for Women's Super League side Leicester City on a two-year deal.[5]
