Mathis Deram

Mathis Deram, born 7 January 2005, is a young back contracted to Union Bordeaux Bègles, one of the leading clubs in France's Top 14. A graduate of the UBB academy, Deram has progressed through the club's youth system, where his ball-handling, decision-making, and reading of attacking shape have set him apart. His role within the squad is that of a playmaking back: capable of organising attack, distributing in tight channels, and finding space against well-aligned defences. UBB has built its modern identity around a fast, ambitious, ball-in-hand game, and Deram's skill set sits comfortably within that template. Working alongside more experienced backs gives him the chance to refine his understanding of professional structures, including the speed at which decisions need to be made under Top 14 defensive pressure. At twenty-one, he occupies the development stage of his career, building toward a more prominent role in the senior matchday squad and competing for game time across an increasingly deep UBB backline.
