Silvère Tian (born July 19, 1980) is an Ivorian rugby union fullback.
Born in Abidjan, Tian started playing rugby at age 6 in the city. [1] He took part in the 1998 Under-21 World Championships [1] that were held in France [2] and attracted the attention of the Rodez recruiters. [1] He left for Flers after a difficult couple of years. After two years, he left for Fédérale 1 club Tours, where he stayed for three years. His breakthrough came when he joined Bourg-en-Bresse, whom he helped get promoted to Pro D2. He attracted the attention of Oyonnax, where he finished the Pro D2 top scorer for the 2009–10 Rugby Pro D2 season. [3] He was then recruited by Top 14 team Bourgoin-Jallieu, but, due to their important financial troubles, they had to let him leave for Agen in February 2011. [4]
Tian was handed a 16-month suspension following an incident with a referee on 2 April 2016. Tian was annoyed to have been given a yellow card and allegedly insulted and threatened referee Romain Poite. Poite then decided to give him a red card, and Tian had to be restrained by security. [5]
He joined US Nantua-Port Rugby Haut-Bugey in the Fédérale 2 for the 2018–19 season.
