Patrick Tchoutang strengthens Jeunesse Villenavaise midfield after Stade Bordelais exit

Patrick Tchoutang, the France and Cameroon defensive midfielder, has joined Jeunesse Villenavaise from Stade Bordelais on a free transfer.

The 34-year-old completed the move on 20 August 2026, bringing an end to his spell with Stade Bordelais and adding further experience to Jeunesse Villenavaise’s midfield options. Tchoutang is a right-footed player whose primary position is defensive midfield.

Tchoutang returns to Jeunesse Villenavaise after one season at Stade Bordelais, having joined that club from Trelissac FC in July 2025, also on a free transfer. His latest move represents another step in a career spent largely across French football, with spells at several clubs in the country’s lower divisions.

Before his return to Stade Bordelais, Tchoutang played for Bergerac and Trelissac FC. He previously represented Stade Bordelais between 2020 and 2023, following earlier spells with Grand-Quevilly and Alberes Argeles. His career also includes time in Luxembourg with Muhlenbach, as well as stints at AL Deville M., QRM B, Red Star FC B and Red Star Under-19s.

Tchoutang has featured in National 2, National 1, the Coupe de France and the Coupe de Luxembourg during his career. His National 2 record includes a campaign in which he made 26 appearances, scored once and provided one assist. He also recorded 26 appearances and one assist in another National 2 group, underlining his regular involvement at that level.

The midfielder was born in Rouen on 5 October 1991 and holds French and Cameroonian nationality. His move to Jeunesse Villenavaise continues a series of free transfers throughout his senior career, with each of his recorded club changes since 2011 completed without a fee.

He now begins his latest chapter with Jeunesse Villenavaise, having completed the move from Stade Bordelais on a free transfer.
