Career

edit

Born in Montpellier, Bonnissel started his career with hometown club Montpellier, and proceeded to spend three seasons with La Liga club Deportivo de La Coruña.

He returned to his homeland to join Bordeaux in 1999 and stayed until he joined Rangers during the 2003 January transfer window, on a contract until the end of the season. The highlight of his time at Rangers was a start in the 2003 Scottish League Cup Final win over Celtic at Hampden Park.[1]

In the summer of 2003 he joined Fulham on a free transfer,[2] going on to play in their memorable 3–1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.[3] On Boxing Day 2003 he was injured in a league game against Southampton[4] and never played for Fulham again before leaving the club in 2005.[5]

After a short six-month spell at Marseille, Bonnissel retired in 2006.
