Matthieu Dreyer (born 20 March 1989) is a French professional footballer who has played as a goalkeeper for Ligue 1 club Strasbourg.

Club career

Dreyer began his career in Alsace playing for local club AS Ernolsheim/Bruche.[citation needed] In 2003, he moved to the famous Sochaux academy. During his youth career with Sochaux, he won the Coupe Gambardella in 2007.[citation needed] Dreyer was listed as the third goalkeeper for the 2007–08 season and appeared on the bench several times including two UEFA Cup matches, though he did not make an appearance.[citation needed] He signed his first professional contract following the season agreeing to a three-year deal. Dreyer was officially promoted to the senior squad and given the number 30 shirt, the typical number for the third-choice goalkeeper in France.[citation needed]

For much of the 2008–09 season, Dreyer played in the CFA helping the Sochaux reserves finish a respectable 6th.[citation needed] He made his professional debut on 28 February 2009 starting in goal, ahead of second choice Jérémy Gavanon, for the injured Teddy Richert against Nice. [citation needed] For his efforts, Dreyer earned a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory with Václav Svěrkoš scoring the lone goal.

In 2012, after one season in the Championnat National, he joined Troyes as a second-choice keeper. He agreed to the termination of his contract in August 2016.

In July 2020, Dreyer joined Lorient, newly promoted to Ligue 1, on a free transfer, having agreed on a three-year contract.

On 23 August 2022, Dreyer signed for Ligue 2 side Saint-Étienne on a two-year contract.

International career

Dreyer has been a France international since age 12 when he earned caps with his local regional sides, Bas-Rhin and Alsace, in the Predator Cup. He has featured with the U-15s, U-16s, U-17s, and the U-18s. On 25 May 2009, he was selected to the under-20 squad to participate in the 2009 Mediterranean Games.
