Jean Ludovic Butelle (born 3 April 1983 in Reims) is a French footballer who plays for AC Arles-Avignon as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Butelle began his career at FC Metz, in 2001–02's Ligue 1, appearing in six matches. He became a regular the next two seasons, after which he was signed by Valencia CF in July 2004 after being seen as a possible replacement for aging Andrés Palop and Santiago Cañizares;^[1] he also served a six-month loan at Hércules CF in Alicante for the rest of his debut campaign.

From 2005 to 2007, with Palop departed, Butelle eventually became backup, replacing another veteran, Juan Luis Mora. On 29 November 2006, after making his La Liga debut on 19 March 2006 in a 1–2 away loss against Racing de Santander, his sole in that season, he extended his contract – due to expire in June 2009 – for a further three years.^[2]

For the 2007–08 season Butelle was again loaned, this time to fellow top-divisioner Real Valladolid: after starting as first-choice, he eventually lost the battle with youngster Sergio Asenjo (18) and veteran Alberto (38). After considering a return to France for the remainder of the campaign, he eventually stayed until his loan expired.

However, Butelle would be loaned once more for the 2008–09 season, now to French top division outfit Lille OSC. At the season's close, the move was made permanent.
