Kévin Fortuné (born 6 August 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward. Born in metropolitan France, he plays for the Martinique national team.[1]

Early life

[edit]

Fortuné was born in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, France but his family originated from the department of Martinique, making him eligible to play for their national team.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Troyes

[edit]

On 31 August 2018, the last day of the 2018 summer transfer window, Fortuné joined Ligue 1 side Troyes AC from Ligue 2 club RC Lens signing a three-year contract.[3]

Tractor

[edit]

On 22 August 2019, Fortuné joined Tractor S.C. after an undisclosed fee was agreed between Troyes AC and the Iranian club.

Media reports indicate that there was a high transfer fee involved and considering Fortuné’s annual income the deal was unprecedented in Iranian football and Fortuné becomes one of the highest earning players in the Persian Gulf Pro League.[citation needed]

Auxerre

[edit]

In May 2020, after being released by Tractor, Fortuné agreed a two-year contract with AJ Auxerre.[4]

Orléans

[edit]

On 22 June 2022, Fortuné moved to Orléans.[5]

International career

[edit]

He made his debut for the Martinique football team in a 1–0 2019–20 CONCACAF Nations League qualifying win over Puerto Rico on 13 October 2018.[6] On 7 June 2019, he was named to Martinique's squad for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[7]

On 18 July 2021, Fortuné scored the 1,000th CONCACAF Gold Cup goal against Haiti in a 2–1 loss in the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup competition.
