Nicolas Pierre Ouédec (born 28 October 1971 in Lorient, Morbihan) is a retired French professional footballer who played as a striker.

Football career

A product of FC Nantes's famous youth academy, Ouédec made his first division debuts aged 17. He finished joint topscorer in 1993–94, netting 20 times to help the club qualify for the UEFA Cup, as fifth.

After two solid seasons at Spain's RCD Espanyol, Ouédec moved to Paris Saint-Germain FC, and from there his career never improved: two 1/2 seasons at Montpellier HSC (where he reformed, with little impact, Nantes' offensive trio which also comprised Patrice Loko and Reynald Pedros) and one with Belgium side R.A.A. Louviéroise with only nine goals combined. Ouédec retired from football after two seasons in China, aged 32.

An international on seven occasions, Ouédec was, however, never selected for any major tournament's final stages.
