His early opportunities to represent France "B" came at fullback and in 1955 he was recruited to play that position for Stade Toulousain, remaining for two seasons. He then began a long association with AS Béziers, from where he gained his 12 France caps between 1963 and 1965, which included a tour of South Africa. Before retiring, Dedieu had a brief stint at RC Nîmes.[2]
