'''Yves Hadley Desmarets''' (born 19 July 1979) is a Haitian former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[left midfielder]].

He spent the vast majority of his professional career, which started at the age of 27, in Portugal, representing [[Vitória S.C.|Vitória de Guimarães]] and [[C.F. Os Belenenses|Belenenses]] and amassing [[Primeira Liga]] totals of 86 games and eight goals over the course of three seasons, all with the former.

He quickly became an undisputed starter, contributing with four goals in all 30 [[Primeira Liga]] games as the [[Minho Province|Minho]] team overachieved for [[2007–08 Primeira Liga|a final third place in his second year]], ahead of [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]].
