Club career

AJ Auxerre

Calvet joined his hometown club AJ Auxerre in 2004,[1] progressing through the youth ranks and making his debut for the club's reserve side in the Championnat de France amateur at the end of the 10/11 season.[3][4][5] Calvet made his first team debut in a 1-1 Ligue 2 draw at Châteauroux in November 2012, coming on as a substitute.[6] He was an unused substitute on a further three occasions during Auxerre's 2012/13 campaign.[6] Following injuries and the arrival of Bernard Casoni as manager, Calvet was not called into the first team squad in 2013.[7][8] Entering the final year of his contract and seeking regular first team football, Calvet trialled at newly promoted Premier League side Cardiff City in July 2013, but failed to earn a deal.

Brentford

Calvet signed for English League One side Brentford on transfer deadline day in September 2013, penning a three year contract.[3] He made his debut for the Development Squad in a 1-1 Professional U21 Development League 2 South draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on September 16.[9] He made his first team debut in a 2-1 Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat to Peterborough United on October 8 and played the full 90 minutes.[10]

International career

Calvet captained the France U16, U17 and U18 squads and played in the 2011 European U17 Championship and the 2011 U17 World Cup.[3] He received his first call up to the France U20 squad for the 2013 Jeux de la Francophonie[11] and made his debut in a 3-0 group stage defeat to Congo.[12]
