to Jean-François Ruffier, a world champion in the sport of Basque pelota, and Patricia Ruffier. He has two sisters, one of which is a figure skater. Ruffier is of Basque
descent having been born and raised in the heart of Northern Basque Country
. Despite emulating his father's skills in Basque pelota as a child, Ruffier grew an attraction to the sport of football and joined the football section
of the Aviron Bayonnais
sporting club at the age of six. He entered the academy initially as an outfield player and was training to become a striker
. However, at the age of eight, due to a goalkeeper shortage at the academy, Ruffier was asked by a youth coach to try out for the position. The transition was a success and, by the age of 13, Ruffier had acquired the physical skills and traits needed to excel at the position.
While in the youth system of Bayonne, Ruffier helped the club's under-13 team win the Coupe de Pyrénées
. The following season, he attended a trial session
with professional club Montpellier
, but ultimately failed to impress. In 2002, Ruffier was spotted by Monaco
scout Arnold Catalano. Catalano is known for recruiting Thierry Henry
to the club and recommended Ruffier join Monaco on a trial. On 2 August 2002, after a successful trial with the club, Ruffier signed an aspirant (youth trainee) contract with the club.
, André Amitrano, and André Biancarelli. After spending only one season in the club's academy, he was promoted to the club's Championnat de France amateur team in the fourth division. Ruffier made ten appearances with the team during the 2003–04 season, and for the 2004–05 season, was named as first-choice goalkeeper of the amateur team and made 17 appearances. Following the season, Monaco loaned Ruffier back to his former club Bayonne with hopes that the youngster would get some consistent first-team playing time. At the club, Ruffier was installed as the team's first-choice goalkeeper by manager Christian Sarramagna
. He responded by playing in all 38 league matches, but could not prevent the team from suffering relegation to the CFA as the club finished in 17th position. Following the campaign, Ruffier returned to Monaco.
On 10 May 2006, Ruffier signed his first professional contract with Monaco agreeing to a three-year deal until June 2009. He was moved into the backup goalkeeper position behind the Italian Flavio Roma
. Due to Roma's consistency in goal, Ruffier made no appearances in the 2006–07 season. The following season, Roma suffered an injury in the team's third league match of the season against Metz
. Ruffier made his professional debut in the match appearing as a substitute in the 58th minute for Roma and maintained the team's 1–0 lead. Monaco later scored another goal to record a 2–0 victory. In the team's next three matches, Ruffier played the full 90 minutes in victories over Sochaux
, Le Mans, and Lille
. He finished the campaign with 12 total appearances, ten in the league and two in the Coupe de France
. In the 2008–09 Ligue 1 season, manager Ricardo Gomes decided to retain Ruffier as the team's number one goalkeeper. Ruffier appeared in 36 total matches recording eleven clean sheets, which included blanking Paris Saint-Germain on two occasions and holding off Marseille
at the Stade Vélodrome
with the hosts out-shooting Monaco 22–4. He also helped the team reach the semi-finals of the Coupe de France
. During the season, on 15 September 2008, Ruffier signed a contract extension with Monaco until 2010. At the end of the season, he signed another extension with the club, this time until June 2013.
In the 2009–10 campaign
, Ruffier recorded 15 clean sheets in 32 matches in league play. In the Coupe de France, he earned three clean sheets as Monaco reached the 2010 edition
of the cup's final match
. In the final, Ruffier maintained a clean sheet for over an hour and a half before conceding a Guillaume Hoarau
header in extra time. On 27 July 2010, Ruffier was named captain of Monaco by manager Guy Lacombe
for the 2010–11 season
. In the opening match of the season, Ruffier dueled with French international and first-choice goalkeeper Hugo Lloris
. Both keepers performed well producing equally good saves in a 0–0 draw.
. After receiving consistent playing time at Monaco, Ruffier was called up to the under-21 team
in November 2007. On 15 November 2007, he made his under-21 debut playing the entire match in the team's 1–1 draw with Armenia
in Colmar
. He appear in several matches for the team in qualification for the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship
, but ultimately failed to make the squad that lost 2–1 on aggregate to Germany
in the team's two-legged playoff match. The elimination from the competition ended Ruffier's under-21 career.
During the 2009–10 season, Ruffier earned praise from the media for his performances. The praise led to calls for the player to be called up to the senior team
. However, coach Raymond Domenech
preferred Cédric Carrasso
as the team's third-choice keeper and took him, along with Lloris and Steve Mandanda
to the 2010 FIFA World Cup
. On 16 June 2010, goalkeeper Carrasso dropped out of the team due to injury and the national team's goalkeeper coach Bruno Martini
contacted Ruffier to travel to South Africa and replace him. Despite FIFA
denying the team's request of a replacement player, Ruffier still trained with the team and was on the team bus during the player boycott to protest the dismissal of striker Nicolas Anelka
. On 23 July 2010, following a meeting by the Federal Council of the French Football Federation, all 23 players in the World Cup squad were suspended for the team's upcoming 11 August friendly match against Norway
on request of new coach Laurent Blanc
. The move placed Ruffier in limbo as he wasn't formally a part of the team, but was on the bus during the player boycott. On 5 August 2010, Ruffier was called up to the senior team officially for the first time by Blanc for the team's friendly against Norway. Ruffier expressed gratitude towards Laurent Blanc
thanking him for the opportunity. He also stated that, before the announcement of the squad, Blanc had contacted him to explain why he wasn't a part of the strike.
