According to Goal, Florent previously played in Australia's fourth division.
The 23-year-old has been signed to the Toon's under-23 side for the rest of the season after impressing during a trial.
Indalecio started his friendship with Saint-Maximin while they were in St Etienne's youth academy, until the former was booted out at the age of 15 for disciplinary issues.
Watch his trial clip.....
"We've decided to take a bit of a gamble and see how he gets on this year," Bruce told reporters.
"He came over for a trial with Allan in the summer. He came into the academy and they've had him for the past six weeks. He's got something.
"Whether that will ever be good enough to play for Newcastle, we'll see how he develops.
"It certainly helps Allan, it's his mate. But make no mistake, we haven't just signed him because he's Allan's mate.
"He's got a bit of talent, otherwise he wouldn't be coming in."
