Career
Born in Montauban, Benvegnu played youth football for Lafrançaise and Castelmaurou before joining Toulouse FC in 1999. He represented France at all youth levels, and helped the team to a runner's up finish at the 2002 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. Benvegnu joined Toulouse's senior side, but never was the club's first-choice goalkeeper.[1] He made his only Ligue 1 appearances when Nicolas Douchez was suspended during a brief spell of January 2007.[2]
