Career

Le Havre AC

Digard started his career with Le Havre, and spent eight years at the club. He played over 70 league games for the club.

PSG

In June 2007, he was strongly linked with a move from Le Havre to the Premier League with Aston Villa, Reading and West Ham United interested.[2] However, he eventually opted to stay in France, and signed a three year deal with Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain on 3 July 2007 for a transfer fee of 2.5 million.[3] Digard made his debut for PSG in their opening match draw against Sochaux.

Middlesbrough

On 4 July 2008, he signed for Middlesbrough on a four-year contract after the club agreed a €5 million (£4 million) deal with PSG.[4]

In the process of signing with Middlesbrough, Digard rejected overtures from Portsmouth and Monaco.[5]

He made his Middlesbrough debut during the first fixture of the 2008–09 Premier League season, replacing Tuncay Şanlı on the 72nd minute in the 2–1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur at the Riverside Stadium. He made his first contribution of note in the 86th minute of the same game, when his wayward shot turned into an assist when it was deflected goalwards by Mido, a goal which turned out to be the winner.

He made his Cup debut against Yeovil Town in the League Cup. He scored a 30 yard goal and the score ended up 5–1 to Middlesbrough.[6]

After another substitute appearance in the 2–1 away defeat to Liverpool, Digard once again came off the bench in the 2–1 home win against Stoke City. Once again, a mishit shot from Digard turned into an assist, with the ball falling to Tuncay to score the winner.

On 17 January 2009, Digard was sent off against West Bromwich Albion for a tackle on Borja Valero.

Nice

In January 2010, he signed for Nice on a loan deal.[7] His loan contract runs for six months and includes an option to sign permanently for over €5 million.[8] The move became permanent on the 12th July 2011.[9]
