William Ludovic Brandon Bianda

William Ludovic Brandon Bianda is a French defender who primarily plays at centre-back. Born in Suresnes in 2000, he developed at Red Star before joining Lens, where he signed his first professional contract in 2017 and made his senior debut later that year. Bianda also represented France at the under-17 European Championship and World Cup. In 2018, he moved to AS Roma and continued his development with the Primavera side rather than making a first-team appearance. Roma loaned him to Zulte Waregem in 2020–21 and Nancy in 2021–22, where he scored his first professional goal. After his Roma spell, he played for Standard Liège’s reserve side before joining Laval in 2024. Standing 1.87 metres tall, Bianda offers a left-sided option in defence and can also operate in a back three or at left-back.
