Career

Toulon

Coulbault is a product of the Toulon youth system. He made his first-team debut in Ligue 1 during the 1991–92 season [6] before becoming a regular member of the Starting XI in 1993–94.[7] In the 1995–96 season Coulbault was the starting right back on the team that reached the quarter-finals of the French Cup by eliminating a Zinedine Zidane led Bordeaux team. Coulbault was tasked with marking Zidane for large portions of the game and created the equalizing goal with a deep cross from the right to take the match to extra time where Toulon won 3–2.[8] That same season Toulon won the Championnat National title and promotion to Ligue 2. In the final game of the season against Stade Briochin Coulbault won the game with a Golden Goal in extra time.

Southend United

After playing in several trial games in pre-season during the summer of 1997, Coulbault signed for Southend United on a one-year contract. He made his debut against Bristol City as a 56-minute substitute [9] and scored his first goal for the club, a 40-yard strike, three games later in a 1–1 draw with Oldham Athletic.[10] In December he scored his third goal for the club, a "Memorable" winner in extra time against Gillingham,[11] this was followed by more late-game heroics as he slotted home a late equalizer away to Brentford on Boxing day, securing a draw after the Shrimpers had gone down to 10 men early in the second half.[12]

F.C. Saint-Cyr & Hyères FC

Returning to France, Coulbault signed for non-league club F.C. Saint-Cyr helping them gain promotion to Régional 1 in 1999–2000 before moving to Hyères FC in Championnat National 2 for the 2001–02 season. He retired at the conclusion of the 2002–03 season.
