Career

In 2006, Rippert was loaned by FC Nantes to Valenciennes. He made his professional debut in Ligue 2 on 5 August 2006. He went on to play 21 games in his first season, as Valenciennes won promotion and the league title. At the end of his loan spell, he elected to stay with Valenciennes rather than return to Nantes. After two season in Ligue 1, and with competition for his place, he agreed a termination of his contract and signed for fellow Ligue 1 side FC Metz.{{cite web|url=http://www.lavoixdunord.fr/archive/recup/region/football-vafc-guillaume-rippert-est-reparti-en-cfa-mais-ia27b0n3421198|title=Football – VAFC: Guillaume Rippert est reparti en CFA mais ne désespère pas de revoir la L2|publisher=La Voix du Nord|date=1 April 2016|accessdate=7 November 2017|language=fr}}

He was released by Metz after one season in Ligue 1, and joined Greek side AO Kavala, who were newly promoted to Super League Greece.{{cite web|url=http://www.foot-national.com/foot-metz-guillaume-rippert-vers-la-grece-12287.html|title=Metz : Guillaume Rippert vers la Grèce|language=fr|publisher=foot-national.com|date=30 July 2009|accessdate=7 November 2017}} However, an issue arose with the validity of his three-year contract, and he returned to France.{{cite web|url=http://www.football365.fr/kavala-rippert-veut-attaquer-en-justice-1287959.html|title=KAVALA : RIPPERT VEUT ATTAQUER EN JUSTICE|publisher=Football365|language=fr|date=20 July 2011|accessdate=7 November 2017}}

In September 2009, he signed for Evian to play in Championnat National.{{cite web|url=http://www.foot-national.com/foot-evian-tg-signature-de-guillaume-rippert-13059.html|title=Evian TG : Signature de Guillaume Rippert|publisher=foot-national.com|language=fr|date=18 September 2009|accessdate=7 November 2017}} He helped the club win back to back titles and promotions and played another season in Ligue 1. For the 2012–13 season, Rippert, along with fellow Evian player Nicolas Farina was loaned to German 2. Bundesliga side FC Energie Cottbus.{{cite web|url=http://www.footamateur.fr/nicolas-farina-et-guillaume-rippert-les-faux-jumeaux/|title=Nicolas Farina et Guillaume Rippert, les faux jumeaux|language=fr|publisher=footamateur.fr|date=11 January 2017|accessdate=7 November 2017}}

After a year in Germany Rippert returned to France with Ligue 2 Stade Lavallois.{{cite web|url=http://www.lavoixdunord.fr/archive/recup%3A/sports/football-vafc-l-ex-valenciennois-guillaume-rippert-ia182b206n1422636|title=Football (VAFC) : l'ex-Valenciennois Guillaume Rippert signe à Laval (L2)|publisher=La Voix du Nord|date=19 July 2013|accessdate=7 November 2017|language=fr}} He then moved to Switzerland, signing for Swiss Challenge League side FC Lausanne-Sport.{{cite web|url=http://www.foot-national.com/foot-laval-guillaume-rippert-file-en-suisse-off-60588.html|title=Laval : Guillaume Rippert file en Suisse (off.)|publisher=foot-national.com|language=fr|date=25 July 2014|accessdate=7 November 2017}} However, when manager Marco Simone was sacked, the new manager dispensed with the nine French players. Rippert signed for Romanian Liga I side FC Petrolul Ploiești, but he left due to issues with payment of wages.

In January 2016, Rippert and Farina joined up again, at SO Cholet in Championnat de France Amateur, where he won promotion.
