Mathieu Berson (born 23 February 1980) is a French footballer who plays for Championnat National club Vannes as a midfielder, having previously played for Nantes, Aston Villa, Auxerre, Levante and Toulouse.
Career
Berson began his career with Nantes and made his senior debut during the 1999–2000 season. The following campaign, Nantes were crowned champions of France for the eight time, with Berson making 28 league appearances. Having featured for the club consistently over a four-year period, he was transferred to Premier League club Aston Villa in the summer of 2004. In January 2005, Villa signed Eric Djemba-Djemba in an attempt to replicate the successful patnership they had formed at Nantes, where they played 50 games together.[3][4] However, six months later, Berson was back in France, having joined Auxerre on a season-long loan. In the summer of 2006, he was transferred to La Liga side Levante. He played regularly for the next two seasons before returning to France with Toulouse in 2008. Released by Toulouse in the summer of 2010 due to budget cuts, Berson remained without a club until signing a two-year contract with Vannes in June 2011.[5]
