[edit] Club career
Laventure played college soccer at Seton Hall University, where in four seasons he scored 14 goals and assisted on 12. He was named to the Big East first team after recording eight goals and six assists in 2005. After his senior season he was invited to the 2005 MLS Player Combine which led to him joining the MetroStars reserve team.
On April 12, 2006 he signed a developmental contract with Red Bull New York. He made his MLS debut July 8, 2006 as a substitute against FC Dallas. He scored his first MLS goal July 19, 2006 with a spectacular 30-yard chip over Columbus Crew goalkeeper Noah Palmer which won him the Goal of the Week Award. Laventure started his first game for the Red Bulls against the Wilmington Hammerheads of the USL in the U.S. Open Cup. He was released by the club on March 17, 2008, and subsequently signed for Newark Ironbound Express for the 2008 PDL season.

In 2007, Laventure was called up to the Haitian national team, but did not play for the country[1]. In 2008, he was called up again, and started two matches against El Salvador in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.
