Ludovic Butelle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ludovic Butelle (born April 3, 1983 in Reims) is a French football goalkeeper, who currently plays for Valencia CF.
Standing at 1.88 metres, the French keeper is an exciting prospect, and much talked about in the Valencia camp as the possible replacement for the evergreen Santiago Cañizares. Although he is highly talented, Butelle is very inexperienced having just been promoted from the Valencia B team, after the injury of Juan Luis Mora.
Butelle began his career at Metz from French Ligue 1, in the 2001-02 season where he played just 5 matches. He became a regular the next season playing 27 matches, after which he was signed by Valencia. With Cañizares aging, and Mora's injury problems, we will definitely see a lot of this youngster this season and the years to come.
On 29 November 2006 Butelle extened his contract from 2009 to 2012. [1]
