Rémi Maréval (born 24 February 1983) is a Martiniquais[4] former professional footballer who played as a defender.

Career

Born in Domont, Maréval began his career at the age of 14 in the US Chantilly's youth system and signed for Ligue 2 team AS Beauvais in the summer of 2001. After two and a half years with AS Beauvais, where he played 38 games and scored one goal, Maréval signed for Oldham Athletic in January 2004. In 2004, after half a year in England with Oldham Athletic, he returned to France and signed for Gazélec Ajaccio. After a successful season with 37 games and one goal for Gazélec Ajaccio, he joined Tours, but played only 33 matches in two seasons. In July 2007, Maréval again moved, this time to FC Nantes.[5]

On 2 February 2014, Israel Premier League club Maccabi Tel Aviv announced Maréval's arrival in a contract until the end of the 2013–14 season.

Trivia

Maréval had one of his most memorable moments against Olympique de Marseille, scoring a goal from more than 30 metres.[6] He scored another memorable goal against Nîmes Olympique from 60 metres in September 2009.[7] Coming after just eight seconds, the goal was the fastest goal in the history of the French Ligue 2.[8]
