Gaëtan Laborde (born 3 May 1994) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club Nice. He played for the France national youth teams up to France U20 level.

Club career[edit]

Laborde started his career at Stade Montois before joining Bordeaux in 2008. He won the 2013 Coupe Gambardella with Bordeaux, scoring the winning goal in the final against Sedan.[2]

On 16 August 2018, Laborde joined Ligue 1 rivals Montpellier HSC on a four-year contract. The transfer fee paid to Bordeaux was reported as €3 million plus bonuses.[3] A day later, Bordeaux's manager Gus Poyet was suspended by his club following an outburst in which he criticised the sale of Laborde.[4]

After 3 seasons at Montpellier HSC in which he scored 39 goals across 118 games, Laborde signed for Ligue 1 club Stade Rennais F.C. on 31 August 2021. His only season at Rennes was moderately successful, in which he scored 19 goals in 47 matches across all competitions.

On 1 September 2022, Nice signed Laborde from Rennes for €15 million on a contract until 30 June 2026. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain on 2 October 2022.
