Steve Pinau

Steve Pinau (born 11 March 1988) is a retired French footballer.

Career Pinau, a French youth international, started his career with Monaco, making two appearances in Ligue 1. He signed for Genoa on a four-year contract, but was almost immediately loaned to Hibernian. Genoa also paid Monaco €560,000 as training compensation.

Pinau made his debut for Hibs as a late substitute in a 1–1 draw at Inverness on 23 August 2008.
