[edit] Playing career
[edit] Hibernian
Beuzelin joined Hibernian in 2004, having been released by his previous club Le Havre. He quickly became a favourite of the Hibs support,[1] despite missing a significant number of games through injury. He was part of the team who won the 2007 Scottish League Cup Final.[1]
[edit] Coventry City
Beuzelin signed for Coventry after his contract with Hibs expired at the end of the 2007–08 season.[2] He signed a one year deal, with a club option for a further year.[3] Despite making 35 league appearances during the 2008–09 season, he declined a new contract during the 2009 close season.[3]
[edit] Hamilton Academical
After leaving Coventry, Beuzelin started training with Celtic, and he played in a friendly match against Cork City.[4] After a trial with MK Dons, Beuzelin started training with Hamilton,[5] and signed for the club on 29 September.[6]
[edit] Olympiakos Nicosia
After being released by Hamilton at the end of 2009, he signed in early January for Cypriot team Olympiakos Nicosia. Beuzelin was released at the end of the 2009–10 season.
Beuzelin then began training with SPL side Kilmarnock, who were managed by Mixu Paatelainen, who had previously worked with Beuzelin at Hibs. Beuzelin agreed a one year contract with Kilmarnock,[7] but he failed a medical to complete the transfer.[8]
[edit] Coaching career
A succession of injuries forced Beuzelin to formally retire from playing football in 2011.[1] He is currently employed by Falkirk as a coach in their youth academy system.[1]
