Loïc Crédoz (born 17 May 1999) is a French professional rugby union player who plays as a flanker or number eight for Top 14 club Pau.
Loïc Crédoz was born on 17 May 1999 in Annecy, France and grew up in Montrevel-en-Bresse. He began junior career at RC du Canton de Montrevel-en-Bresse (2007–2014) before joining the Oyonnax Rugby academy (2014–2020).[1]
Crédoz made his professional debut for Oyonnax on 31 August 2018, against Valence Romans Drôme Rugby, during the 2019–20 Rugby Pro D2 season.[2] His impact was immediate, as he scored his first professional try in that match.
Over the next few seasons, Crédoz became a key player for Oyonnax, appearing in 115 matches and scoring 75 points.[3]
In 2023, Crédoz played a crucial role in helping Oyonnax secure promotion to the Top 14, the highest level of French rugby.[4] Later that year, he celebrated a major career milestone by reaching 100 appearances with Oyonnax across both the Pro D2 and Top 14 competitions.[5]
In December 2023, it was widely reported that Crédoz would leave Oyonnax at the end of the 2023–24 Top 14 season.[6] He signed with Section Paloise, based in Pau, Béarn with a contract set to run until June 2026.[7]
