Hnasselen Ruben Henri Michel Kutran (10 January 2002 – 30 December 2022), known as Ruben Kutran, was a New Caledonian footballer who played as a left-back.

Club career

Born in Lifou, New Caledonia, Kutran began playing football with Païta FC at a young age. At the age of ten, he moved to France, as his mother decided to emigrate to continue her studies. The family settled in Bordeaux, where he played for a number of smaller clubs including CM Floirac.

In July 2017, he signed for the academy of professional side Bordeaux, and rose through the academy to play for the club's under-19 side, before featuring for the club's reserve team in the Championnat National 3. After four appearances with the reserve side, he was diagnosed with a heart condition in 2022, and was forced to retire, leaving Bordeaux in June 2022.

He was offered a coaching position with Bordeaux, but rejected this in favour of an offer from his former club, CM Floirac, to manage their under-13 side, which he started doing in September 2022.

International career

Kutran was called up to the New Caledonia under-16 squad for the 2018 OFC U-16 Championship, which served as qualification for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He scored in a 1–1 draw with Samoa, but was unable to help New Caledonia reach the knockout stage of the tournament.

Death

Following his retirement, Kutran did not play football professionally again, but suffered a heart attack while playing with friends. He died on 30 December 2022 in Pessac, France, and was buried in the Cimetière de Floirac on 10 January 2023 - what would have been his twenty-first birthday.

Personal life

Kutran's two younger brothers, twins Baptiste and Nicolas, are also footballers, and both currently play for Bordeaux.
