Mathis Thierry Lambourde Frontier (born 9 January 2006) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Hellas Verona.
Club career
[edit]Born in Les Lilas, of Guadeloupean and Malagasy descent, Lambourde began his career at the age of seven with grassroots side Cosmos Saint-Denis.[1] After one season, he joined hometown club Les Lilas, where he spent three years before a move to professional club Paris Saint-Germain.[2] After only a season with Paris Saint-Germain, he moved to Jeanne d'Arc de Drancy in 2018, but the club would report that he had signed a six-year deal with Stade Rennais only a year later, in April 2019.[3]
Despite being pictured in club attire holding a Stade Rennais kit, the French Football Federation have stated that it was not until 2021 that Lambourde would join the club.[1] He got off to a good start to the 2022–23 season, scoring fourteen goals by November, and went on to finish the season with twenty-five in all competitions at under-19 level.[4][5]
On 30 August 2024, Lambourde signed a five-year contract with Hellas Verona in Italy.[6]
International career
[edit]Lambourde has represented France at under-17 level.[1] He starred at the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship as France finished runners-up to Germany.[2][5][7]
Legal affairs
[edit]On 18 June 2024, while riding an electric scooter on the pedestrian section of the François-Mitterrand mail in Rennes, Lambourde collided with a pedestrian, who was a 51-year old woman. She died as a result of this accident six days later. On 4 July 2024, Lambourde was placed under judicial supervisionand prosecuted for involuntary manslaughter, lack of insurance and "manifestly deliberate violation of an obligation of safety or prudence".[8] The trial was held at the Rennes Criminal Court on 23 August 2024, in which Lambourde was handed a two-year suspended prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter.[9]
