Jean-Sylvain Claude Babin (born 14 October 1986) is a Martiniquais professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Granada CF as a central defender.
Club career
Born in Corbeil-Essonnes, Essonne, Babin graduated from LB Châteauroux's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the B-team. He started appearing as a professional in the 2003–04 season, featuring once with the main squad in Ligue 2.
On 30 August 2007, Babin was loaned to FC Martigues.[1] After his loan expired, he left Châteauroux.
On 14 July 2008, Babin moved to Spain and joined Lucena CF in Segunda División B.[2] He was regularly used by the Andalusians during his stint, being an important defensive unit during the 2009–10 campaign.
On 2 August 2010, Babin signed for AD Alcorcón, freshly promoted to Segunda División.[3] He made his debut for the Madrid club late in the month, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Albacete Balompié.[4]
Babin scored his first goal for the Alfareros on 22 October 2011, netting the winner in a 2–1 home success over Recreativo de Huelva.[5] He added a further four during the season, as his team missed out on promotion in the play-offs.
On 9 June 2014, Babin signed with Granada CF for four years.[6] He made his debut in La Liga on 23 August, and scored to help the hosts come from behind and win it 2–1 against Deportivo de La Coruña.[7]
International career
Babin chose to represent Martinique internationally.[8] He gained his first cap during the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup, playing the full 90 minutes and helping to a 1–0 group stage success over Canada.[9]
