Born in Bordeaux, France, Divet moved to Australia at a young age, where he began playing rugby league. He returned to France in 1985, aged 18, and signed for Limoux.[3]
During his career, he is one of the few French players to start an overseas experience playing for English sides such as Hull FC[4] and Featherstone Rovers.[5][6] In France, he notably played for Carcassonne and Limoux.
His club performance allowed him to represent France with which he notably disputed the 1985-1988 and 1989-1992 Rugby League World Cups.
