[edit] Career

[edit] Club career

Born in Montpellier, France,[1] Javary started his career with his hometown club Montpellier HSC as a junior, where he played nine Ligue 1 games during the 1995–96 and 1996–97 seasons.[2] He was offered a five-year contract at Spanish La Liga side FC Barcelona, although the offer was later withdrawn,[3][4] and instead joined another Spanish Barcelona-based club RCD Espanyol in June 1998.[4] He returned to France for a period on loan with Ligue 2 club ASOA Valence in the 1999–2000 season, where he played four games.[2]

In January 2000, he joined Scottish Division One side Raith Rovers. He played 11 games with Raith during the latter half of the 2000–01 season.[1] After one more game at the start of the following season,[1] he was signed in August by English Division Two side Brentford for £150,000 by manager–chairman Ron Noades.[3] He played only six games with Brentford, and another four with Plymouth Argyle in English Division Three at the end of the same season.[1]

Javary moved back to Scotland and played a game on trial with Division One side Partick Thistle in October 2001,[5] before he returned to Raith Rovers the following month. He played another seven games with Raith,[1] before he moved back to England, with Sheffield United in Division One on non-contract terms in March 2002, and was given a two-year contract by manager Neil Warnock the following month.[6] He was given a one-month loan spell at Walsall in January 2003, but was suffering from tonsilitis and never played a game.[1][7] In July 2003, Javary was one of four senior players to be told he could leave the club by Neil Warnock,[8] before he was released from his contract in September 2003; Javary decided to return to France.[9] He played 14 games with Sheffield United, all but one in the league, and scored one goal against Watford.[1][10]

After a spell with AS Excelsior in the French Réunion Islands, he returned to Scotland in January 2005 with Hamilton Academical again in Division One.[11][12] He was released by Hamilton during the 2005 summer,[13] after he had played 13 league matches, during which time he scored one goal against Falkirk.[1][14] After his release he moved back to Réunion, again with Excelsior,[11] and later moved on to FC Avirons.

In 2008, Javary moved to Australia to find an A-League team to continue his career.[15]

[edit] International career

Javary has also played for the French national sides from under 16 to under 19 level. He captained his country's European Youth Championship side in 1995.[3][4]
