  ## Club career
  
  Briant is a product of the FC Nantes training center. In a show on Gol TV called Soccer Academy he was one of two players to sign a professional contract with Nantes after the show followed the everyday lives of the players in the academy. The four favourites to gain the contract were Briant, Dimitri Payet, Fréjus Tchetgna (a defender from Cameroon) and Francisco Donzelot (a midfielder from Columbia). With the departure of Mickaël Landreau from Nantes it was decided that the club would sign Briant as their third string at only 19.
  
  He retired at the age of 25 after the expiration of his contract with CS Sedan Ardennes and became a manager of a store.
