Raphaël Calvet (born 7 February 1994) is a French professional football defender who plays for Annecy. He is a product of the AJ Auxerre youth system and represented France up to U20 level.
After starting out at CAV St. Georges, Calvet joined his hometown club AJ Auxerre in 2004, progressing through the youth ranks and making his debut for the club's reserve side in the Championnat de France amateur at the end of the 2010–11 season. Calvet made his first team debut in a 1–1 Ligue 2 draw at Châteauroux in November 2012, starting the match and playing the full 90 minutes. He was an unused substitute on a further three occasions during Auxerre's 2012–13 campaign. Following injuries and the arrival of Bernard Casoni as manager, Calvet was not called into the first team squad in 2013. Entering the final year of his contract and seeking regular first team football, Calvet trialled with newly promoted Premier League side Cardiff City in July 2013, but turned a contract offer down, due to fears about a lack of first team football. Calvet departed AJ Auxerre in September 2013.
Calvet signed for English League One side Brentford on transfer deadline day in September 2013, penning a three-year contract. He made his first team debut in a 2–1 Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat to Peterborough United on October 8 and played the full 90 minutes. Under new first team manager Mark Warburton, Calvet received his maiden call into a league squad on 1 March 2014, remaining as an unused substitute for a 0–0 draw with Carlisle United. Calvet finished the 2013–14 season with 15 appearances for the Development Squad and one first team appearance.
