Born on 27 June 1998 in Colombes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde runs the game for Wolverhampton in the Premier League. From CS Villetaneuse to Le Mans, then RC Lens and RC Strasbourg, the technical, tireless central midfielder climbed every rung of French football before England.

Choosing the Grenadiers

A France youth international (U19, U20, U21), he hesitated for a long time before choosing, in 2025, the country of his roots. On his debut on 6 September 2025 against Honduras wearing number 10, he posted nearly a 90% pass-completion rate.

At 27, his work rate, ball-winning and vision make him the ideal man to drive Haiti's play — a decisive addition to the Grenadiers' historic qualification.
