Thibaut Lesquoy (born 7 July 1995) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Dutch Eerste Divisie club Almere City.

Career[]

Excelsior Virton[]

Lesquoy began his career at Excelsior Virton, where he made his first-team debut on 28 February 2014 in the Belgian Second Division matchup against Eendracht Aalst which ended in a 3–0 loss. He was in the starting lineup but was sent off in the 55th minute.[1] In the 2015–16 season, he was a regular starter for Virton. In that season, this club relegated from professional football, as the second tier in Belgium was reduced from seventeen to eight clubs.[2] Because of this, Lesquoy played for three more years in the third-tier Belgian National Division 1, where Virton was able to win promotion in the 2018–19 season.[3]

F91 Dudelange[]

After achieving promotion, Lesquoy moved to F91 Dudelange, the defending champions of the Luxembourg National Division.[4] He made his European debut at the club, as he appeared in the UEFA Europa League against APOEL, Sevilla and Qarabağ.[5]

Almere City[]

In 2020, Lesquoy signed a two-year contract with Dutch Eerste Divisie club Almere City FC as a free agent.[5] He made his debut for the club on 30 August in a 0–0 home draw against MVV, starting at left back and playing the entire match.[6][7] In the following match, a 4–6 shootout win over Excelsior, Lesquoy provided an assist to Thomas Verheydt for the opening goal.[8] He suffered a foot injury in September, which sidelined him for a month.[9] He made his return to the pitch in a 7–2 loss to fellow Eerste Divisie title contenders SC Cambuur on 15 November, coming on as a halftime substitute for Delvechio Blackson.[10]
