Biography
Fabien Audard (born March 28, 1978) is a retired French professional football (soccer) player.
Career
Born in Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, Midi-Pyrénées, Audard began at his local club Toulouse FC which formed him. He made his debut as a first-half substitute in the Ligue 1 match against Olympique de Marseille on October 3, 1998. Toulouse were already a goal down and eventually lost 2–0. He conceded his first goal to Fabrizio Ravanelli.
It was not until November 4, 2000, that Audard made his next appearance, playing the full match as Toulouse drew 0–0 with RC Strasbourg. He played four further times that season before moving to SC Bastia in August 2001.
Audard did not play for Bastia in his first season there, and was loaned out to Ligue 2 Lorient for the 2002–03 season, where he played thirty matches. The move was made permanent and the 2003–2004 season gave Audard 25 more matches. AS Monaco secured his services on loan for the 2004–2005 season, where he played four matches as cover for Flavio Roma.
Returning to Lorient, Audard missed just one match of their 2005–06 promotion campaign.
