Career edit

Born in Cayenne, Maurel played professional football for Toulouse FC, FC Rouen, FC Istres and FC Gueugnon. He finished his career playing amateur football with US Colomiers Football and Montauban FCTG.[1]

After winning the 1997 UEFA European Under-18 Championship with France, Maurel never managed to break into Toulouse's first team, and went on loan to Ipswich Town F.C. at age 21.[2]

After he retired from playing, Maurel became a manager, leading US Colomiers Football.[3]
