Alexandre Ludovic

Créteil On 24 June 2013, Ludovic moved to the outskirts of the city of his birth, signing for US Créteil-Lusitanos of Ligue 2 while his previous team retained 20% of his economic rights. He appeared in just under half of the matches in his one season, again scoring two goals; the first was in a 3–2 loss at FC Istres on 31 January, followed a week later by the opener in a 2–0 home win over Clermont Foot.

Return to Portugal Ludovic returned to Portugal's second division with C.D. Santa Clara and Chaves, before a brief spell with FC Zimbru Chișinău in the Moldovan Super Liga. He returned home on 4 July 2016 to sign for Leixões SC.

On 13 June 2017, Ludovic was acquired by F.C. Penafiel. He renewed his contract two years later to last until 2021, and then again for one more year.

Ludovic dropped into the third tier for the first time in his career on 17 July 2022, signing a two-year deal at newly relegated Varzim SC. He announced his retirement in January 2023 at 32, immediately joining the club's coaching staff.

International career Ludovic earned one cap for the Portugal under-20 team on 28 January 2010, starting a 2–2 friendly draw with China in Óbidos. He played twice at under-21 level, debuting on 14 November 2011 as a late substitute in a game of the same score away to Albania in a European qualifier.
