Who is Davide Limmiere?

Davide Limmiére is a French former professional footballer. He is currently based in Scotland and is a free agent whilst he focusses on a doctorate degree at the University of Aberdeen.

A striker, Limmiére began his career with hometown club AFC Compiègne in 2003. He remained at the Stade Paul Cosyns for two years where he had a successful period in the Championnat de France amateur League.

In June 2005 he joined AS Beauvais Oise where he made 32 league appearances, scoring fourteen goals and helping them to the Championnat de France amateur league title.

Limmiére then attempted to make the jump to professional football when he joined Troyes AC as a trialist in 2006. However, he decided to call an end on his full-time ambitions and pursue his interest in geology. After studying at Keele University followed by a doctorate at Aberdeen University, Limmiére decided not to join any football clubs in either Scotland or England in order to focus on his new career.

However, after a trial at local, lower league club Banks O'Dee in 2010, Limmiére actively looked to play football again although he decided against fully committing to a club until he had completed his PhD.
