Club career[]

Auxerre[]

After beginning his youth career with CAV St. Georges,[3][4] Calvet joined his hometown club AJ Auxerre in 2004, and progressed through the youth teams.[3] He made his debut for the club's reserve team in the Championnat de France amateur at the end of the 2010–11 season.[5] Calvet made his first team debut in a 1–1 Ligue 2 draw at Châteauroux in November 2012, starting the match and playing the full 90 minutes.[6] He was an unused substitute on a further three occasions during Auxerre's 2012–13 campaign.[2] Following injuries and the arrival of Bernard Casoni as manager, Calvet was not called into the first team squad in 2013.[7] He departed AJ Auxerre in September 2013.[8]

Brentford[]

Calvet joined English League One club Brentford on transfer deadline day in September 2013 and signed a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[8] He made his debut in a 2–1 Football League Trophy second round defeat to Peterborough United on 8 October and played the full 90 minutes.[9] Under new first team manager Mark Warburton, Calvet received his maiden call into a league squad on 1 March 2014 and remained an unused substitute during a 0–0 draw with Carlisle United.[10] Calvet finished the 2013–14 season with 15 appearances for the Development Squad and one first team appearance.[11][9]

Calvet spent the entire 2014–15 Championship season out of first team contention and instead made 19 appearances for the Development Squad.[12] Calvet was absent during Brentford's entire 2015–16 pre-season and joined Sporting Gijón B on trial in August 2015,[13] but failed to win a contract.[14] He departed Griffin Park on 3 November 2015,[15] after having made just one appearance in just over two years with the Bees.[16]

Return to Auxerre[]

Calvet rejoined AJ Auxerre in a non-professional status in January 2016.[17] After recovering his fitness, he made two appearances for the B team in what remained of the 2015–16 season.[18]

Annecy[]

On 27 September 2016, Calvet joined Championnat de France Amateur club Annecy on a two-year contract.[19] He scored the first senior goal of his career on his eighth appearance, in a 3–1 victory over Le Puy Foot 43 Auvergne.[2] He finished the 2016–17 season with 18 appearances,[2] three goals and signed a new two-year contract in May 2017.[20] Calvet made 27 appearances and scored one goal during the 2017–18 season,[2] which culminated in a second-place finish behind the promoted team, Villefranche.[21] He departed the club in July 2018,[22] after making 45 appearances and scoring two goals during two seasons at the Parc des Sports.[2]

Le Mans[]

On 4 July 2018, it was announced that Calvet had joined newly-promoted Championnat National club Le Mans on a one-year contract.[22] He made just 14 appearances and was released at the end of the 2018–19 season.[2][23]

CS Sedan[]

In July 2019, Calvet joined Championnat National 2 club CS Sedan Ardennes on a free transfer and made 21 appearances during the truncated 2019–20 season.[2][24] As a result of the 2020–21 season being declared null and void in April 2021,[25] Calvet finished the season with 13 appearances.[2] He was retained for the 2021–22 season.[26]

International career[]

Calvet captained the France U16, U17 and U18 squads and played in the 2011 European U17 Championship and the 2011 U17 World Cup.[8] He received his first call up to the France U20 squad for the 2013 Jeux de la Francophonie and made his debut in a 3–0 group stage defeat to Congo.[27][28] He went on to win three further U20 caps.[3]
