Kévin Théophile-Catherine

Kévin Théophile-Catherine (born 28 October 1989) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for SuperSport HNL club Dinamo Zagreb.

Stade Rennais
Théophile-Catherine was born in Saint-Brieuc, Brittany to a Martiniquais father, and a Réunionnais mother of Malbars descent.

Théophile-Catherine spent more than six seasons with Rennes, playing a key role as they won the French Under-18 Cup in 2007 and the National Under-19 trophy a year later.

He made his first team debut against Le Mans in the League Cup and made his first French League appearance in a goalless draw against Lille, both during 2009, while he signed a first professional contract in the same year.

He totalled 120 professional appearances for the club, scoring twice.

Cardiff City
Théophile-Catherine signed for Cardiff City, newly promoted to the Premier League, on a four-year deal on 31 August 2013 for a reported fee of €2.4 million (£2.1 million). He made his debut two weeks later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw against Hull City.

Saint-Étienne
On 18 August 2014, Théophile-Catherine returned to Ligue 1 when he signed for Saint-Étienne on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season with an option to buy.

On 15 June 2015, Saint-Étienne made the deal permanent for three years, for a fee believed to be in the region of €2 million (£1.45 million).

Over his four years at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, Théophile-Catherine played 142 games. He scored once, on 2 April 2016 in a 2–0 win at Gazélec Ajaccio.

Dinamo Zagreb
In June 2018, Théophile-Catherine moved to Dinamo Zagreb on a three-year deal. He debuted in the Croatian First Football League on 17 August and scored in a 2–1 home win over Osijek.

In June 2020, he signed a new three-year deal.

He left the club at the end of the 2022–23 season, as his contract was not renewed. However, after being a free agent for three months, and due to bad performances of the club's defenders, he rejoined Dinamo in October 2023.
