Jean-David Baptiste Francois Beauguel (born 21 March 1992) is a French professional footballer who plays as a striker.

After starting his football career in his native France, he moved to Tunisia for half-a-year, before spending a season playing club football in the Netherlands. In 2014, he moved to the Czech Republic, where he played until 2022. He made a switch to Saudi Arabia in 2022, before moving to China in 2024. In 2025, he joined Polish club Stal Mielec.

Career

Early career

Beauguel played for Toulouse in France. Although he didn't play in any league matches,[2] he scored in a Coupe de la Ligue match against Nice on 31 August 2011.[3] He later headed to the Netherlands, where he played for RKC Waalwijk, but left after the club was relegated from the Eredivisie at the end of the 2013–14 season.[4]

Czech Republic

Beauguel trialled with Czech club Dukla Prague in July 2014, scoring four goals in a half-hour section of a friendly match in a pre-season friendly versus Varnsdorf.[5] A week later he signed a three-year contract with Dukla.[6] Beauguel scored seven goals in the first half of the 2014–15 Czech First League.[7] Having scored nine goals in 61 games for Dukla over the course of two and a half seasons, Beauguel signed for First League side Fastav Zlín in January 2017.[8]

In November 2018, with his Zlín contract due to expire in less than two months, he signed a pre-contract agreement with Viktoria Plzeň.[9] On 8 December, he did not appear for Zlín in their Czech First League match against Plzeň, having asked Zlín coach Michal Bílek not to select him for the match.[10] This stirred controversy in the media, with news outlet iSport reporting that Viktoria Plzeň allegedly pressured the player to skip the match.[11] Zlín lost the match 2–0.[12]

Al-Wehda

On 17 June 2022, Beauguel joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Wehda.[13]

Qingdao West Coast

On 24 February 2024, Beauguel signed with Chinese Super League club Qingdao West Coast.[1]

Stal Mielec

On 24 February 2025, Beauguel moved to Polish top-flight side Stal Mielec on a deal until June 2025.[14] Goalless in six appearances, he was released by Stal at the end of the 2024–25 season.[15]

Personal life

Born in France, Beauguel is of Chadian descent through his father.[16]
