The enterprising full-back is young but well-traveled across Europe, having had spells at Sturm Graz, Zulte Waregem, Liefering, and Vitoria Guimaraes where he made over 20 appearances for them in the Primeira Liga.
The 23-year-old is expected to take up the number 14 shirt and help his new side under Gérard Lopez in the upcoming season to better their 12th place finish in the Ligue 1.
