Paul Nardi

Signs with Auxerre

Nardi has signed a two-year deal with AJ Auxerre through June 2028, the club announced.

Analysis: Nardi is a 32-year-old goalkeeper with nearly 350 career appearances, including spells at Monaco, Rennes, Cercle Brugge, Lorient, Gent, and most recently QPR, where he started 45 Championship matches last season. A former France U21 international, his arrival comes just after longtime starter Donovan Leon departed for Saudi Arabia's Abha Club, and with the number 1 shirt in hand, Nardi looks set to be handed the job as Auxerre's new starter over Mamadou Diop, who joined earlier this summer from Grenoble.
