Steven Thicot (born 14 February 1987 in Montreuil, Seine-Saint-Denis) is a French association football player who plays as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder for Portuguese club Belenenses.
Club career
Thicot was trained at the Clairefontaine academy and was part of the France national youth football team that won the 2004 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship.[1] He signed for Nantes in 2003, but he did not play for their first team. He was loaned to Sedan for the 2006–07 season, for whom he appeared three times in Ligue 1, but he was eventually released by Nantes in June 2008.[2]
Hibernian
Thicot went on trial with Scottish Premier League club Hibernian, for whom he appeared as a substitute in a pre-season friendly against FC Barcelona.[2] He signed for Hibernian on 29 July 2008, and made his Scottish Premier League debut in the 1–0 defeat at Kilmarnock in early August. Thicot had to be substituted after just 33 minutes due to a thigh injury that kept him out of action for "weeks".[3] He returned to the team in a 2–1 win at Aberdeen, but was again substituted.[4]
Thicot became a regular under Mixu Paatelainen, but the Finnish manager left Hibs at the end of the 2008–09 season.[5] John Hughes, who was appointed to replace Paatelainen, initially gave Thicot fewer opportunities in the team; Thicot made his first appearance of the 2009–10 season in January.[5] Thicot continued to feature in the team infrequently under Colin Calderwood, and was advised in April 2011 that his contract would not be renewed.[6]
Thicot then signed for Portuguese club Naval.[7]
Dinamo București
In August 2013, Thicot signed a contract for three years with Romanian club Dinamo București.[8] He scored his first goal for Dinamo on 6 October, in a match against Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț.[9] He was released by Dinamo in July 2014 after his refusal to return for the new season.[10]
