Ludovic Butelle talks up 'fitting Angers environment'

Angers goalkeeper Ludovic Butelle reveals his delight at building a career at the Ligue 1 side after almost losing his life to an injury earlier in his playing days.

Angers goalkeeper Ludovic Butelle has talked up his time at the club by insisting that he has found a fitting environment to work in after a tough start to his footballing career.

As a young keeper Butelle almost lost his life after rupturing his spleen during a tackle, but the 32-year-old has stated that he is enjoying life to the full after building a career at the newly-promoted Ligue 1 club.

"It's a nice fightback," Butelle told The Ligue 1 Show.

"I feel I have had a tough time in my career but I was lucky enough to find a fitting environment here at Angers which has given me another chance to play in Ligue 1. Life is beautiful, make the most of it."

Angers have made a positive start to life in the French top flight, securing eight points from their first five games in the league.
