Scotty Sadzoute (born 29 April 1998) is a French professional footballer playing as a left back who is currently unemployed after most recently playing for OH Leuven U23.

Career

In 2013, Sadzoute left his local town in Réunion to start a footballing career in mainland France. In 2014, he joined the youth academy of Lille OSC, and in 2018 signed his first professional contract with them. He joined Pau FC on loan for the 2019–20 season, and helped them get promoted into the Ligue 2. He extended his loan with Pau into the 2020–21 season.[1] Sadzoute made his professional debut with Pau in a 3–0 Ligue 2 loss to Valenciennes on 22 August 2020.[2]

In 2021, Sadzoute signed for Oud-Heverlee Leuven until 2024,[3] but did not play for the club in the first six months and only featured as an unused substitute in one match. On the last day of the winter 2021–22 transfer window, Sadzoute was loaned to Nîmes until the end of the 2022–23 season, with option to buy.[4] After suffering a serious injury in the beginning of 2023, Sadzoute returned to OH Leuven in the summer of 2023 and continued working on his recovery. On 17 December 2023, he appeared again in the starting lineup of the U23 team of OH Leuven, playing at the third level of Belgian football. He would make 13 appearances for the U23 team (including one goal) throughout the remainder of the 2023–24 season but was released when his contract ended, without ever appearing for the A-squad.

Personal life

Sadzoute is of Réunionnais and Malagasy descent, and is open to representing both the France and Madagascar national football teams.[5]
