Damien Perquis (born 10 April 1984)[1] is a French-born Polish international footballer who plays for Gazélec Ajaccio. A defender, he represented France at the youth level before acquiring Polish citizenship and playing for Poland at the senior level.

Personal life

Perquis was born in France. He is of Polish descent by way of his grandmother, Józefa Bierła.[2][3] His Polish ancestors were from Strzyżewko in central Poland.[4] He is married, and has two children.[5]

Club career

Troyes

Perquis came up through the Troyes AC youth system. He played in Ligue 2 with Troyes AC for 2 years, where he was rated as one of the best defenders of the league.

Saint-Étienne

In 2005, he signed for Ligue 1 club AS Saint-Étienne as a free agent. In two seasons, he failed to impress with the club and was loaned to Sochaux. After some initial troubles he finally found his form and became a regular in the starting line-up.

Sochaux

In 2008 Sochaux bought the player outright. He made a total of 146 appearances for the club, scoring eleven goals, before leaving the club in the summer of 2012.

Real Betis

In the summer of 2012 Perquis joined Real Betis in Spain. He suffered through various injury problems while in Spain and was limited to 32 league matches in his three years with Betis.

Toronto FC

Perquis was released by Betis and signed with Toronto FC of Major League Soccer on 26 January 2015. He mutually agreed to part ways with the club on 12 July 2016.[6]

Nottingham Forest

On 22 July 2016, Perquis signed a two-year deal with Nottingham Forest.[7] On 27 August 2016, he scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 home win against Leeds United.[8] On 24 July 2017, Perquis and Nottingham Forest agreed to mutually terminate his contract at the club.[9]

International career

In December 2008 he declared his interest in playing for the Polish national team.[10] Franciszek Smuda, manager of Poland, confirmed that information in July 2010.[11] In January 2011, it was reported that Perquis had filed his citizenship application papers.[12] However, his family had lost some required documents and so Smuda had to request that the Polish president Bronislaw Komorowski approve his application.[13] Perquis received Polish citizenship on 1 September 2011.[4]

On 6 September 2011 Perquis made his international debut during a 2–2 friendly draw against Germany in Gdańsk. He scored his first goal on 26 May 2012, in a 1–0 friendly win against Slovakia.
