Club career

[edit | edit source]

Debut in Vannes

[edit | edit source]

Born in Vannes,[2][3] Samuel Loric started playing football at the age of 6 in his hometown club of AS Ménimur, before joining Vannes Olympique as an 11 years old.[2][4]

Soon appearing as one of the most promising prospects of the Britannic academy, he was even very close to joining Lorient as an under-14, if not for a serious thigh injury. Loric became a regular starter with Vannes OC first team as a 17 years old in the Championnat National 3, after he made his debut against Pontivy in 2017, during a 2–0 Coupe de France win.[2][5][6]

For the following season, as his side had been promoted to the Championnat National 2, the young defender played an even bigger role helping Vannes avoid relegation.[6][7] He scored his first goal on 19 January 2019, as the Vannetais smashed Paris Saint-Germain reserve team in a 4–0 championship win, against the likes of Yacine Adli, Arthur Zagré, Loïc Mbe Soh, Éric Ebimbe, Moussa Sissako or Virgiliu Postolachi.[4][8][9]

Professional contract in Lorient

[edit | edit source]

On the last day of January 2019, Samuel Loric signed his first professional contract with FC Lorient, before being loaned back to Vannes until the end of the National 2 season.[6][7][10]

Loric made his professional debut for Lorient in the 2019–20 season on 13 August 2019, starting in a 2–1 Coupe de la Ligue loss against Le Mans.[3][11][12][13]

But after a season where he mainly played with Lorient reserve in National 2, while Vincent Le Goff retained the spot on the left of the defense in their 2019–20 Ligue 2 winning campaign, Loric was loaned to US Avranches for the 2020–21 National season.[11][14] Despite a season with ups and downs for the Norman club,[15] the young left-back was one of the standout players of his team,[16] notably scoring a goal and delivering an assist in the two Normandy derbies (fr) against Quevilly-Rouen.[11]

Back in Lorient for their second consecutive season in Ligue 1, Samuel Loric was included in the first team for the summer preparation, playing the pre-season friendlies, most notably scoring the only goal of a 1–0 away win against FC Nantes.[17][18]

Christophe Pélissier awarded him his league debut on 21 November 2021, in what was deemed an honorable performance against Angers, despite the 1–0 away loss.[19][20]

On 10 January 2023, Loric joined Ligue 2 club Quevilly-Rouen on loan until the end of the season.[21]

Magdeburg

[edit | edit source]

On 29 August 2024, Loric signed with 1. FC Magdeburg in Germany.[22]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Loric played for Brittany as an under-16, were Alain Thiboult (fr) was the first coach to play him as a fullback.[2]

Style of play

[edit | edit source]

Samuel Loric first played as a midfielder[2] or a left winger,[5][7] before deciding to switch to left-back, where he played his first games with Vannes senior team under David Gouzerch.[2][5][7]
