When Julien was eleven years old, he joined the club Stade Malherbe. He made few unsuccessful attempts to stay at youth academies of Lemans and Lyonnais. The footballer had to make a pause. He didn’t begin his professional career until the 2005/2006 season when joined Caen and turned to be a real godsend for the club. He managed to score 7 goals almost from the very first appearances on the field. During the next season Toudic was lucky to find a net two times.
