Georginio Rutter Early Life

Born in 2002 in Plescop, France, Rutter found his passion for football at a tender age, thanks to the influence of the legendary footballers of the country like Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry. His parents sent him to school for formal education, but Rutter was devoted to the game and left the school before completing his degree. Since childhood, he has grown his love for racing horses as well. At the age of five, he joined Menimur, a French club to take a step forward to enter professional football.

Rutter spent seven years at that club, understanding the core values of sport and polishing his skills and talent to be ready for the bigger stage. From 2014 to 2018, he also played for two more French clubs’ youth teams – Vannes and Rennes before making his senior club debut in 2018.

Georginio Rutter Career

Club Career

In 2020: After becoming a cog in the wheel of the Rennes youth team’s attack, Georginio Rutter was handed his senior professional debut in 2020 against Saint Etienne in Ligue 1. The Premier League young gun came off the bench to substitute the current Real Madrid galactico, Eduardo Camavinga, who back then plied his trade with Rennes. 

In 2021: Just one year after his senior debut, Rutter was lured in by the Bundesliga outfit, TSG Hoffenheim. In Germany, Rutter became a brute force in front of goals as he scored several goals for the Bundesliga club and caught the eyes of teams from other European leagues.

In 2023: Leeds United were in search of a young and talented forward and they bought Rutter from TSG Hoffenheim on a five-year deal. However, he had a poor start to his Premier League career as he continuously misfired at the front. In 66 games for the Whites in all competitions, Rutter accumulated eight goals and 18 assists. 

In 2024: The French star’s late exploits at the Elland Road forced Brighton’s hands to break their club’s transfer record by signing Rutter for £40 million. He made his debut for the Seagulls in an impressive 2-1 win in the English Premier League against Manchester United. He has netted seven goals and recorded three assists so far for Bright and Hove Albion in 25 matches. 

International Career

Georginio Rutter made his international debut in 2017 for the French u16 national team. His sharpness and agility in front of goals helped him rise through the ranks very fast. The Brighton forward is yet to make his senior debut for France at the international level but has featured in almost all young teams including u17, u18 and u20. He is currently a regular member of the Under-21 squad of Les Blues.
