Career

Born in Le Puy-en-Velay, Astier had a promising start to his football career. He trained with the youth teams of Saint-Étienne, and would make his professional debut with the senior club in Ligue 2. After failing to break into Saint-Étienne's first team, he was sent with his compatriot Johann Duveau on a short-term loan to play for Burgos CF in Segunda División B.{{cite web|publisher=Le Foot|title=Actu D2|url=http://fr.1001mags.com/parution/le-foot/numero-71-mars-1998/page-18-19-texte-integral|language=French|page=18|date=March 1998}} After his loan expired, Saint-Étienne canceled his contract and he attempted to join OGC Nice. However, his contract with Nice wasn't approved by the league.{{cite web|publisher=EspoirsduFootball.com|title=Champions d'Europe U18 1997 – Que sont-ils devenus ?|url=http://www.espoirsdufootball.com/champions-deurope-u18-1997-que-sont-ils-devenus-27182|language=French|date=3 February 2013|access-date=6 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150722223322/http://www.espoirsdufootball.com/champions-deurope-u18-1997-que-sont-ils-devenus-27182|archive-date=22 July 2015|url-status=dead}}
