Jean Ludovic Butelle (born 3 April 1983 in Reims) is a French footballer who plays for AC Arles-Avignon as a goalkeeper.
[edit] Club career
Butelle began his career at FC Metz, in 2001–02's top flight, appearing in six matches. He became a regular the next two seasons, after which he was signed by Valencia CF in July 2004, seen as a possible replacement for aging Andrés Palop and Santiago Cañizares.[1] Butelle also served a six-month loan at Hércules CF in Alicante for the rest of his first season.
From 2005–07, with Palop departed, Butelle eventually became backup, replacing another veteran, Juan Luis Mora. On 29 November 2006, after making his La Liga debut on 19 March 2006, in a 1–2 away loss against Racing de Santander, his sole in that campaign, he extended his contract, due to expire in June 2009, for a further three years.[2]
In 2007–08, Butelle was again loaned, this time to fellow top-divisioner Real Valladolid and, after starting the season as first-choice, he eventually lost the battle with youngster Sergio Asenjo (18) and veteran Alberto (38). After considering a return to France for the remainder of the season, he eventually stayed until his loan expired.
However, Butelle would be loaned once more for 2008–09, now to French top division outfit Lille OSC. At the season's close, the move was made permanent.
