Nicolas Janvier (born 11 August 1998) is a French professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Alanyaspor.
Born in Saint-Malo, Brittany, Janvier moved from hometown club Jeanne d'Arc to Stade Rennais F.C. at the age of 8, a year after starting to play football.[1] He made his Ligue 1 debut on 11 December 2015 against SM Caen, as an 84th-minute substitute for Juan Fernando Quintero in a 1–1 home draw.[2]
Janvier signed his first professional contract in August 2015, a three-year deal that made him only the third 17-year-old to turn professional at Rennes, after Yoann Gourcuff and Damien Le Tallec.[3] He made only 15 appearances in all competitions (four starts), being used mainly in the reserve team in the Championnat National 3 and 2. He left in August 2019 on a three-year deal to Vitória SC in Portugal's Primeira Liga.[4]
Janvier was again a reserve in his first year in Portugal, scoring 8 goals in 23 games including braces in wins over CDC Montalegre and Berço SC. He made his Primeira Liga debut on 18 September 2020, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–0 home loss to B-SAD, the first game managed by Tiago Mendes.[5]
On 4 July 2023, Janvier signed a three-year contract for Turkish club Alanyaspor, for an undisclosed fee.[6]
Janvier earned 53 caps for France at youth level, scoring 16 goals. He made his debut on 17 September 2013 with the under-16 team in a 1–0 friendly win over Wales in La Sauvetat-du-Dropt, and scored in a 6–0 win against the same country two days later.[7] He was part of the under-17 team that won the 2015 UEFA European Championship in Bulgaria, though he missed in the semi-final penalty shootout against Belgium.[8]
