The French attacking midfielder showed plenty of promise as a youngster, being part of the French squad that won the World Under-17s Champions title in 2001 and looking promising as a young player in the French top-flight with Nantes.
His appearances were sporadic to say the least for the French club, however, and he arrived in the Football League with Cardiff City, when they were riding high at the top of the Championship in the 2006-07 season. Still, he failed to cement a starting role and Rob Kelly signed him on-loan in January 2007 for a month.
His debut, and only game, came as a substitute in a clash at Ipswich Town but he continued to struggle for first-team action. His lack of chances, after another loan stint at Oldham Athletic, took him back to France with Grenoble.
