Julien Faubert

This weeks player profile is Julien Faubert, West Hams French full back.

The Frenchman started his carreer out as a Midfielder at French side Cannes whilst on the South coast he made 45 apps scoring 4 goals. He then made the move to French Giants Bordeaux in 2004 and spent 3 years there nearly making 100 apps. He made 96 apps overall and scored 9 goals. Then in 2007 he was reported to move to Rangers and then he turned up as a West Ham player. But almost straight away he got injured with a ruptured Achilles tendon which put him out for 6 months. So like all the other West Ham players they bought in the summer he was injured. But he was back by the 12th January in 2008 and came on against Fulham. He then went on to make 8 apps in league and cup but was played in a differant role at full back. He has now made 10 apps for the Irons this season and still hasnt scored. But he did unfortunatly score in the wrong net a few weeks ago against Arsenal.

Faubert International carreer hasnt been too bad either with making 1 app for the French National Team and scoring 1. He has also made 17 U21 apps scoring 2 goals. Faubert seems to be growing in confidence now and hopefully he can improve West Hams league position very soon.
