The club didn’t give further details as they only revealed he died in a car crash after a training session.
Nathael Julan was raised at Le Havre where he made his professional debut in Ligue 2 in 2015. He made 42 appearances for Le Havre, scoring nine goals, before joining Guingamp in January 2018 when they were in Ligue 1.
The striker was later loaned to Valenciennes in January last year and returned to Guingamp in June, before they were relegated to French Ligue 2 last season.
