Lilian Astier (born 12 August 1978), is a French former professional football player.

Career

Born in Le Puy-en-Velay, Astier had a promising start to his football career. He trained with the youth teams of AS Saint-Étienne, and would make his professional debut with the senior club in Ligue 2. However after failing to break into Saint-Étienne's first team, he was sent with his compatriot Johann Duveau on a short-term loan to play for Burgos CF in Segunda División B.[1] After his loan expired, Saint-Étienne canceled his contract and he attempted to join OGC Nice. However, his contract with Nice wasn't approved by the league.[2]

Outside of two seasons in Ligue 2 with FC Libourne-Saint-Seurin, Astier would spend the remainder of his career playing in the third and fourth level of French football.[2]

Astier won the 1997 UEFA European Under-18 Championship with France.[2]
