Julien Baudet (born 13 January 1979 in Grenoble) is a French professional football (soccer) player, currently with English League One club Crewe Alexandra.

Although excelling as a skier in his youth, Baudet chose to concentrate at football, beginning his career with Toulouse FC in France, where he spent two years, clocking up 21 league appearances.

In 2001 Baudet moved to Oldham Athletic in the third tier in England on a free transfer. Spending two years at Oldham, he made 44 league appearances, scoring his first goal on 2002-04-20 against QPR.

After a free transfer in summer 2003 to Rotherham United in the second tier, Baudet played 11 times in the league before a free transfer to Notts County in Football League Two, where he spent two seasons as a regular starter and became club captain.

In July 2006, Baudet moved on yet another free transfer - to Crewe Alexandra, he has improved his game a great deal under the guidance of Steve Holland and Dario Gradi and is now the club captain/vice captain. He scored his first goal for The Railway Men away at Carlisle were they eventually won the game 2-0.

The Frenchman was voted the Fans' Player of the Year for the 2007-08 season, Baudet commented that he was "relatively pleased" with the way he played over the year and that "like all footballers you do have good and bad days, but I think I have been fairly consistent in what has proved to be a disappointing season for the club", referring to Crewe's relegation battle to stay in League One.[1]
