Christophe Paul F. Lepoint (French pronunciation: [kʁistɔf ləpwɛ̃]; born 24 October 1984) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for KV Kortrijk.
Club career[]
On 31 January 2011, he was seriously injured in a car accident. He fell asleep in the passenger seat of a car being driven by his teammate Sébastien Bruzzese who, it is alleged, had been drinking. Afterwards, he struggled to get back into the first team and was loaned out to Waasland-Beveren in the summer of 2012. After a series of good performances for Waasland-Beveren and with Gent struggling in the league, Gent offered to loan out Stijn De Smet and Jordan Remacle to allow Lepoint to return to Gent early.[2]
On 29 January 2015, Lepoint signed for Charlton Athletic on a 2+1⁄2-year deal.[3]
On 17 June 2015, Lepoint signed for S.V. Zulte Waregem for an undisclosed fee.[4]
International career[]
On 19 May 2010, he made his debut in the Belgian national team in a friendly match against Bulgaria in Brussels and scored the equaliser in a 2–1 win.
