Biography

Career

In 1997, Roussel took part in the FIFA World Youth Championship. In the season that followed the tournament, he was promoted to the Gent senior team.

Roussel signed for Premiership club Coventry City in January 2000 for a fee of £1.2 million,[1] having impressed during an initial loan deal from Gent. He finished his first season in the Premiership with six goals (scoring two goals in the 3-2 defeat to Manchester United in February 2000) and proved a successful strike partner to Robbie Keane.[citation needed] However, the following season he began to struggle on the goalscoring front. After refusing to sign for Wimbledon,[2] he slammed the Coventry board for trying to use him as a makeweight in a deal to bring John Hartson to the club.[3]

He was eventually sold a few weeks later to the First Division club Wolves, in a £2 million deal.[citation needed] Generally disappointing at Molineux, he left after 18 months, having scored two goals in twenty five appearances. He was loaned out for the 2002-03 season to his hometown club Mons, who had recently been promoted to the Belgian First Division. He finished the season as joint top scorer with Wesley Sonck, each had 22 goals.

His goalscoring form attracted interest from bigger clubs in the league and he signed for Genk in 2003. His reputation in Belgian football increased and he made his first appearance for the Belgium national team in 2004. After just one season at Genk, in which he scored on thirteen occasions, he moved on again, this time signing for Rubin Kazan in Russia. He never felt at home in Russia and returned to Belgium to play for Standard Liège. At Standard he struggled to break in to the first team and after two unsuccessful years at the club he signed for Zulte Waregem. His time there was again short-lived and a year later he signed for Italian Serie B club Brescia. Roussel soon found himself frozen out at Brescia,[4] and the club became open to offers for him.

In August 2007, he spent a week on trial with Scottish Premier League club Dundee United but returned home without signing the agreed loan deal.[5] He instead chose to return to his former club R.A.E.C. Mons, where he signed a three year contract.[6]

On 25 November 2010, Roussel agreed with Dutch side HSV Hoek to play in the Topklasse.

Outside football

Roussel has a son (born 2001) with Kirsty Wood.[7]
