Academy product
The 25-year-old came through the ranks at Auxerre, progressing to the first team in 2001/02. A French Cup winner in 2003 and 2005, he will hope to help the reigning cup holders go far in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup. In seven seasons at Auxerre, Mathis scored 13 goals in 160 league games, but his most recent campaign was hampered by a shin injury which ruled him out between November and April and limited him to just 20 appearances - his lowest since his debut season.
