Matthieu Serge Fernand Saunier (born 7 February 1990) is a French professional footballer who plays as a central defender.[2]
Saunier previously played for Bordeaux, where he began his professional career.[3] Immediately after signing his professional contract, Saunier was loaned to Championnat National club Rodez.[4] After a season there, for the second consecutive season, he was loaned out, this time to Troyes.[5] After a successful campaign in which he became the "leader of the defense", the move was made permanent in June 2011.[2]
