Born on the 22nd of March, 1993 in France, 31-year-old Christopher Jullien is known for his role as a central defender for Montpellier. He stands as an imposing figure on the pitch, measuring 6 feet 5 inches (1.96m) in height and weighs a robust 13st 12lbs (88kg). Jullien proudly wears the number 6 jersey.
Jullien's early career took off in July of 2012 when he joined Auxerre in Ligue 1. Throughout his debut season of 2012-2013, he played 25 first team matches and managed to hit the back of the net twice.
In the middle of 2013, he decided it was time for a change and made a move to Freiburg in the German Bundesliga. However, his tenure in Germany was short lived, as he only made one first-team appearance in the 2014-2015 season.
July 2015 saw him return to France, this time on loan to Dijon in the Championnat National. Here, Jullien managed to put on a far better show, playing 34 first team matches and scoring 9 goals in the 2015-2016 season.
After Dijon, he made a permanent move back to France's Ligue 1, this time with Toulouse, a deal which cost the club around ÂŁ2.3m. At Toulouse, he spent three seasons, consistently delivering strong performances. Specifically, he appeared 35 times in 2016-2017, scoring four times. Over the next two seasons, he made 64 appearances and added two more goals to his tally.
However, it was Celtic that attracted Jullien's attention in July 2019, with a transfer fee of around ÂŁ7m bringing him to the Scottish Premiership. Over two seasons with Celtic, he played a total of 37 first team league matches and scored five goals. Despite having some memorable moments throughout his tenure, he was seen off by the club in August 2022.
Jullien returned to France, transferring to Montpellier in Ligue 1. As per available records, he played 50 first team matches within the span of two seasons and scored a goal as well. Whether he will appear in the current season (2024-2025) for Montpellier is still to be confirmed.
