Louis George P. Appéré [2] (born 26 March 1999) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League One club Stevenage. He made his senior debut in August 2017.
Louis Appéré was born in Perth on 26 March 1999. [3] He grew up in Cupar, Fife, where he attended Bell Baxter High School. [4] He started playing football for East Fife Junior Supporters' Club at the age of 9 and later spent two years as a youth player with Dunfermline Athletic. [3] He then joined Cupar-based AM Soccer, progressing through from the youth system. [4]
Appéré began the 2015–16 season playing youth football, before progressing to AM Soccer's adult amateur team as well as appearing as a trialist for Raith Rovers' under-20 development team. [4] In May 2016 he went to Italy for a trial with A.S. Roma after AM Soccer owner Austin MacPhee brought a YouTube video of the player to Roma's attention. [4] In July 2016, Appéré signed for Scottish Championship club Dundee United, whose manager Ray McKinnon had previously had him on trial at Raith. [5]
Appéré made his first team debut for Dundee United as a substitute in a Scottish Challenge Cup tie against Cowdenbeath on 15 August 2017. [2] [6] He signed a new two-year contract with the club in May 2018. [7]
In January 2019, Appéré joined Scottish Junior Football East Region Super League club Broughty Athletic on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season. [8] After scoring 22 goals in 20 appearances for Broughty, he returned to Dundee United and was able to break into the first team squad on a regular basis. [9]
He scored his first goal for Dundee United on 19 July 2019 in a Scottish League Cup tie against Cowdenbeath. [10] His first league goal came on 30 August 2019, the second goal in a 6–2 victory in the Dundee derby against Dundee. [11] On 17 October 2019, the club announced that Appéré had extended his contract with Dundee United until the summer of 2022. [12] He went on to score 6 goals in 33 appearances during the 2019-20 season as Dundee United won the Championship title. [13]
Following United's promotion to the Scottish Premiership, Appéré initially struggled for playing time. He scored his first top-flight goal against St Johnstone on 12 January 2021, and also assisted Lawrence Shankland to score from 53 yards in the same match. [14]
On 31 January 2022, Appéré joined EFL League Two club Northampton Town for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal. [15]
Appéré was born in Scotland and is of French descent, and holds both passports. [16] He received his first call-up to the Scotland under-21 team for scheduled fixtures in March 2020 against Croatia and Greece, only for the matches to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [17] [13]
