Renaud Ripart
TRO
Scores in victory
Ripart scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Lorient.
Analysis: Ripart was Troyes' most active presence going forward, leading the match in shots despite converting just one, with his goal coming from the penalty spot. His 1.64 expected goals across two Ligue 1 appearances this season reflects the quality of chances he has been generating, though his finishing outside of the penalty has left room for improvement. His next fixture against Strasbourg presents an opportunity to build on what has been a promising start to the campaign.
Two shots on goal in first matchday
Ripart generated three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Paris FC.
Analysis: Ripart touched the ball seven times, and just under half of them were shots. The shot accuracy ensures a decent start to his 2026-27 season, but that is not a strong indicator that he will regularly score moving forward. That has been a theme during Ripart's time in Ligue 1, with each of his past two Division I seasons (2021 and 2022) including less than five goals.
Signs new contract
Ripart signed a one-year contract extension with Troyes until the end of the 2026/27 season Thursday.
Analysis: Ripart scored eight goals across 26 appearances for Troyes in all competitions in the 2025/26 season, playing a key role in the team's success and promotion to Ligue 1. Considering he has plenty of experience at the Ligue 1 level with 154 matches, 29 goals and 10 assists throughout his career, he should fight for regular playing time with Troyes in their regular to France's top-flight.
Experienced forward in Troyes
Ripart ends the season having contributed five goals across 21 appearances as the experienced striker providing the veteran quality and clinical finishing that complemented the younger players around him throughout Troyes's promotion campaign.
Analysis: Ripart brings the experience, composure and goal-scoring instinct that has made him one of the most reliable second-division strikers in French football over the course of his career, and his ability to come off the bench and change games immediately was highlighted by the club's 11 substitute goals being the best total in Ligue 2. Ripart heads into Ligue 1 knowing his role will likely be a rotational one, but his quality and experience in pressure moments could prove decisive in a tight survival battle for the newly promoted side.
