[edit] French career
Initially with Brest (1986 - 1990), he was a French B international left-back; he also played for Montpellier (1990 - 1991), Paris Saint-Germain (1991 - 1996), Bordeaux (1996 - 1997) and Olympique de Marseille (1997 - 1998) in his native France, before being signed by David Jones and moving to The Dell for £300,000 in December 1998.
[edit] Southampton
He played at left-back at Southampton making his debut on 26 December 1998 at home to Chelsea taking the place of the long-established left-back, Francis Benali.
He scored his solitary Premiership goal with a long-range strike in a 3-1 victory at home to Charlton Athletic on 9 January 1999.
He was a fiery but able full-back, but his career at Southampton suffered following Dave Jones' replacement as manager by Glenn Hoddle. Hoddle was not keen on the Gallic method of defending and Colleter was left to grow frustrated in the Reserves.
The eventual parting with Southampton was rather acrimonious when in November 2000 he moved back to French football with Cannes.
In all he played 26 games for Southampton, scoring 1 goal.
[edit] French career (Part 2)
He left Cannes in December 2002 and later played for Saint-Médard-en-Jalles before becoming a coach back at Bordeaux.
