Dender Transfer News: Experienced French Player Signs

As expected, the arrival of Gauthier Gallon was confirmed by Dender. The French goalkeeper must bring his experience to the fight for maintenance.

In January, Dender was looking for a goalkeeper. Michael Verrips was the starter last season but has been out with a shoulder injury since the end of September. In his absence, Guillaume Dietsch took the opportunity to find playing time.

The former Seraing goalkeeper now has a compatriot as a new competitor. Dender has indeed announced the arrival of Gauthier Gallona 32-year-old French goalkeeper, active at Stade Rennais.

Looking for play time

The Niçois was on the sidelines in Brittany: he did not appear on the slightest match sheet this season. During the previous year, he oscillated between the status of second and third goalkeeper, playing half-time in the league.

Don’t be fooled by this rather mediocre assessment: Gallon has some experience in France. Before that, he spent two full seasons in Ligue 1 with Troyes, he also had nearly 150 Ligue 2 matches with Nîmes and Orléans.

Looking for reinforcements in its fight to maintain, Dender did not hesitate to relaunch her, thus offering her her first adventure abroad. Gauthier Gallon signed a contract there until June 2027.
