A will-o’-the-wisp well known on Ligue 1 pitches having played in Troyes, Angers, Lorient and Lens, Jimmy Cabot has decided to call it quits. The striker, native of Chambéry, announced through RC Lens that he was ending his career. At 30, the player who signed for Artois in 2022 never fully recovered from his cruciate ligament injury in his left knee in October of the same year.
« Resilient, number 19 Lens is attacking the 2024/25 campaign with Will Still’s group. Reinstated in the collective sessions, he took part in the first two preparation meetings for Racing but the condition of his knee did not allow him to continue. At the end of a tough and interminable battle, Jimmy Cabot decides to hang up his boots after 268 professional matches. In recognition of his state of mind, the club will offer him the opportunity to set foot on the Bollaert-Delelis pitch one last time, this Sunday, on the sidelines of the reception of Paris SG (32nd final of the Coupe de France) », Said RC Lens in a beautiful tribute for a player who abruptly stopped his career.
