Club career

edit

Born in Schœlcher, Martinique,[2] Porsan-Clémenté was a youth prospect at Marseille. He made his league debut in a 2–0 home loss against Montpellier on 17 August 2014, replacing Florian Thauvin for the final 15 minutes.[3] At the time, he was the youngest player to play a competitive match for Marseille (16 years and 8 months), but his teammate Bilal Boutobba again broke the record in December of that year.[4]

In June 2017, Porsan-Clémenté joined Ligue 1 side Montpellier.[5] Mainly a reserve in his first season, he made his debut for the club on 19 May 2018 in the last game of the following season, playing 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw away to Rennes.[6] From 2019 to 2021, Porsan-Clémenté played for the reserve side of Saint-Étienne. In 2023, he signed for Latvian club Valmiera.[1]

International career

edit

In 2018, Porsan-Clémenté was called up to the France U20 national team for the Toulon Tournament. He made his first and only appearance for the team as a starter in a 4–1 win over South Korea on 27 May 2018.[7] However, he suffered an injury that kept him out for the remainder of the competition.[8]
