Yann Lienard joined the Academy from Air Bel in the summer of 2019 at the age of 16. Having cut his teeth in the club's various youth categories, the imposing keeper (1m94) is now the club's third-choice keeper behind Radoslaw Majecki and Philipp Köhn. A native of Aubagne, he also got his first taste of professional football in friendlies during the 2022-2023 season, before making his first official appearance in the Round of 32 of the French Cup in the 2024-2025 season against Union Saint-Jean (1-4). Prior to that, the goalkeeper had played for Equipe de France at U20 level, even taking part in the U20 World Cup in May 2023.
