The athletic full back left his native island at the age of eighteen, to attempt to make a career in football. Taken on by Le Havre, he established himself in their first team before joining Bastia after his club’s relegation. He advanced rapidly but was eager to leave Corsica, where he had found the racism intolerable. Surprisingly he turned down a chance to join Marseilles to join Wigan’s first Premiership campaign and proved a revelation advancing so much that he received an international call up. A year later he was sold to Tottenham for a huge fee, having made it plain to Wigan that he wanted to join a club with more financial resources. Able to play anywhere across the back he settled in well but the managerial moves unsettled him and when he lost his place to Alan Hutton he moved to Sunderland. It heralded a disastrous season, where he lost his first team place and then returned to White Hart Lane, but found himself out of the first team. He came to the Rovers in August 2009, as a replacement for Stephen Warnock, when the left back was sold to Aston Villa,soon after the start of the season. Although naturally right footed he was an adequate performer but was later moved to his natural side, but lost his place to Michel Salgado. Unhappy at being left out he was a somewhat disruptive influence in the squad  and when called upon at Old Trafford in 2010, played so badly that he never played for the side again.
