Club career
Toulouse
2015-16 season
Lafont is an academy graduate of Toulouse and made his Ligue 1 debut for the club on 28 November 2015 against OGC Nice.[2] Upon doing so, Lafont became the youngest ever goalkeeper to play in Ligue 1 at the age of 16 years and 310 days, surpassing the record previously held by Mickaël Landreau.[3] Having replaced Ali Ahamada and Mauro Goicoechea as Toulouse's starting goalkeeper, Lafont kept clean sheets in his first two competitive fixtures before finally conceding in a 3-2 loss against Lorient on 5 December 2015. Having been 10 points adrift of safety at the time of Lafont's introduction into the first team, Toulouse managed to avoid relegation on the final day of the season, thanks in part to the eight clean sheets he kept in his 24 appearances for the campaign.[4]
