Born in Beaumont-de-Lomagne, Salut was capped seven times for France as a wing–forward while based with Toulouse club TOEC in the late 1960s. This included France's wins over Ireland and England in their 1968 Five Nations grand slam. He also played a Test match against the All Blacks at Lancaster Park.[1] During the 1969 Five Nations, Salut was a last second withdrawal from a match against Scotland when he injured his ankle running onto the ground.[2]
