Christophe Pelissier, FC Lorient coach, is happy to see Trevoh join his squad: “Trevoh is a young player already with great experience, having played two full seasons in the Championship. He has thus forged a character allowing him to play at the highest level and to fight for maintenance. A versatile player, since he can also play in central defense, Trevoh has an athletic profile that complements our squad ”.

“I am delighted to join FC Lorient today. The prospect of evolving at the highest French level and discovering a new culture convinced me. The FCL is a recognized club and the challenge proposed by the leaders of Lorient is attractive. I can’t wait to start this new adventure in my new colors.” Trevoh told club’s site.

The Midfielder cum defender played made 36 Championship appearances for Huddersfield last season.
