He joined newly promoted Bradford City in the English Premier League on a season-long loan from PSG in September 1999,[2] for a loan fee of £500,000,[3] but after making five appearances in all competitions,[4] totalling 55 minutes of play,[3] the loan was cancelled in October.[5]
He later played for Lens, Guingamp, Rayo Vallecano, Ajaccio, Metz (again), and Clermont.[1][citation needed]
After retiring he returned to Corsica, and was living in Bastia as of December 2016.[6]
