Biography

Throughout his career, he has scored everywhere he has gone. Gaëtan Laborde (28) is an combative attacker with a big heart, a good finisher and a generous team spirit. He is a reference in Ligue 1, where he has scored 59 goals in 202 games. Trained at Bordeaux and having played for Red Star, Brest and Clermont, it was at Montpellier that the Mont-de-Marsan native took his career to the next level.

Between 2018 and 2021, in the company of a certain Andy Delort, he formed a complementary, all-conquering partnership capable of unsettling any defence in the country.

Gaëtan Laborde arrived from Stade Rennais, where he signed in the summer of 2021, where he discovered European football, played 47 games, provided 8 assists and scored 19 goals.

Coming second in the votes for the Aiglon of the season, the number 24 has made a success of his first season in Nice, during which he has gone from strength to strength. Laborde was unfortunate at first, hitting the post five times between September and January. But the striker's hard work, constantly pressing the opposition defence and offering solutions to his team-mates, finally paid off.

Nice's top scorer with 16 goals, the 28-year-old attacker scored 12 in 2023, and was voted Aiglon of the Month for March and April in quick succession by Nice fans.
