Julien Faubert

In 2009, he spent a short period on loan with Real Madrid before returning to West Ham for the beginning of the 2009–10 season.

He steadily earned notoriety as an important member of the squad and eventually caught the eye of several Ligue 1 sides.

[8] He suffered a ruptured achilles tendon during a pre-season friendly on 17 July against Czech side Sigma Olomouc, which was expected to take six months to heal.

[10] He finally made his first team debut for the Hammers as a late substitute against Fulham at Boleyn Ground on 12 January 2008.

[11] His first season in English football was marked by continuing injury and he made only eight appearances in the league and FA Cup.

[14] Faubert enjoyed a fine start to the 2009–10 season, helping the Hammers to victories over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Millwall and an impressive goalless draw at Blackburn Rovers.

[18] Faubert scored his first goal for the club on his 50th league game for the claret and blue against Hull City on 20 February 2010.

On the last day of the summer 2011 transfer window, the Hammers recruited Blackburn Rovers full-back Lars Jacobsen who was preferred throughout the majority of the season.

[22] A tight hamstring ruled him out of the opening two games of the season but he made his first appearance on 16 August in an away match against Watford.

[32] Faubert signed for Finnish Veikkausliiga side FC Inter Turku on a one-year contract on 17 January 2017.

[35] In June 2019, Faubert accepted the role of player-assistant manager of Championnat National 2 club Étoile Fréjus Saint-Raphaël.

Two days later, however, Algerian head coach Rabah Saadane denied that the FAF had made any contact with Faubert.

[38] Playing a 2014 Caribbean Cup qualification game against Curaçao, Faubert scored in a 1–1 draw,[43] netting two braces in the following matches against Guadeloupe and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
