Linebacker Adam Belarbi signs with the Paris Lights
The Paris Lights have found their next homegrown addition for the linebacker corps, signing French linebacker Adam Belarbi ahead of the 2026 season. Belarbi brings eight years of experience across multiple leagues and countries to the Paris defense.
A career built across Europe
Over the past eight years Belarbi has proven himself at several levels of European football. He built his foundation in the French leagues with the Léopards de Rouen, Iron Mask de Cannes, Blue Star de Marseille and Argonautes Aix de Provence before taking his game further afield. A stint with the Straubing Spiders in the German Football League and a season with the Prague Lions in the European League of Football added valuable experience at the highest levels of the European game.
Ready to contribute from day one
That kind of varied experience across multiple leagues and team environments speaks to Belarbi’s ability to adapt quickly and perform. The Paris Lights are getting a linebacker who knows what it takes to step into a new setup and make an immediate impact, exactly the kind of profile that is valuable in a first season.
With Belarbi on board, the Paris Lights are putting together a deep and experienced linebacker corps ahead of their debut season in 2026.
