Club career

Born in Sarcelles, Foulquier was raised in Capesterre, a commune in the overseas region and department of Guadeloupe.[2] After excelling with local clubs in the commune, he was spotted by Rennes scout Patrick Rampillon and, subsequently, joined the professional club in July 2007.[2][3]

Foulquier was awarded the Best Academy Player award for the 2009–10 season.[1] After appearing on the bench in matches during the 2010–11 season,[2] he was promoted to the senior team by manager Frédéric Antonetti for the 2011–12 season. Foulquier was assigned the number 24 shirt and made his professional debut on 2 October 2011 in a league match against Lille, starting but being replaced on the half-time in the eventual 0–2 away loss.[4]

On 27 August 2013 Foulquier was loaned to La Liga side Granada CF.[5] He made his debut in the competition on 30 September, replacing Michael Pereira in a 2–0 home win against Athletic Bilbao.[6]

On 25 May 2014 the Andalusians bought Foulquier outright, for a 2 million fee, with the player signing a five-year deal.[7]
