On loan during the 24/25 season in the National division, where he played 25 matches, Rayan moved up to the next level last season with Nancy, where he once again proved to be a consistent performer, playing an active part in helping the club avoid relegation from Ligue 2, featuring in twenty league matches and four in the Coupe de France.
Now, the defender from the 2004 intake will be playing in Ligue 1 for Le Mans, where he is on loan until June 2027, with no option to buy.
Have a great season, Rayan.
Rayan Bamba :
« This is brilliant news – a natural next step, given that I’ve played in the National and Ligue 2. I’m incredibly proud to have the opportunity to play amongst the elite. I can’t wait to get to know this league, to take on the best teams and the best players. To do that, we’ll have to work very hard and make sure we’re ready to string together a run of matches. Pre-season has gone very well; we’ve trained with a lot of intensity. Coming back to Rennes has done me a world of good, and Le Mans isn’t actually that far away after all. »
