The Club confirmed the signing of Benjamin Lecomte from French side Montpellier in July 2025.

An experienced goalkeeper with 329 Ligue 1 appearances to his name, Lecomte signed a two-year deal, tying him to Craven Cottage until the summer of 2027.

After a handful of appearances as a youngster for his parent club Lorient, Lecomte’s first taste of regular first team football came while on loan with Dijon in 2013/14, helping the club finish sixth in Ligue 2 with 14 clean sheets in his 31 appearances.

That form saw him establish himself as first choice at Lorient upon his return, missing just one game over the next two seasons as they successfully maintained their top-flight status.

A solitary point relegated Lorient in 2016/17, but Lecomte remained a Ligue 1 player by signing for Montpellier, whom he represented 79 times across the next two seasons as they finished 10^th and 6^th.

A move to Monaco followed, though 18 months of his contracted years there were spent on loan in Spain with Atletico Madrid and Espanyol, respectively. The highlight of his time in Monaco will have been his 13 clean sheets in 28 outings as they finished third in Ligue 1.

In January 2023, Lecomte made a return to Montpellier, where he has been first choice ever since, ending his time at the club as captain in 2024/25. 

Lecomte has been capped by France up to Under-20 level, and has spent time in the senior squad in the past.
