Career

Angers

Born in Bondy, Seine-Saint-Denis, Moussi began his career at Angers SCO. He spent six seasons, where he made 120 appearances, scoring two goals. On 30 June 2008, it was announced that Moussi had travelled to the City Ground to join Nottingham Forest. [2]

Nottingham Forest

After joining Forest in the summer, Moussi made a confident start to his career in England, becoming a regular in the Forest midfield. However, due to injury, he missed a large portion of his debut English season. After recovering from an injury at the start of the 2009–10 season, Moussi scored his first goal for Nottingham Forest three minutes into added time in the 1–0 win over Barnsley at the City Ground on Tuesday 20 October. His over-enthusiastic celebration earned him a second yellow card, resulting in him being sent off.

On 19 July 2011, despite reports linking Moussi with moves to Everton, [3] [4] Wigan Athletic, [3] [4] Stoke City [3] and West Bromwich Albion, [4] he re-signed for Nottingham Forest on a three-year deal after his contract had run out on 30 June. [5]

On 14 November 2013, Moussi signed on loan for Millwall until 2 January 2014. [6] On 28 May 2014, it was announced Moussi would not be having his contract renewed.

Birmingham City

In November 2014, Moussi signed a two-month deal with Football League Championship club Birmingham City. [7] Following his signing, he pledged to donate all his salary to four charities: the Birmingham City Disabled Supporters Club, Stop Ebola, a church in Paris (MIGDM: Mission Internationale des Guérisons des Délivrances des Miracles) and the TEV Soma Charity, which was raising money to help victims of the Soma mine disaster in Turkey. [8] He made his debut as a second-half substitute in the Championship match at home to Reading on 13 December, with Birmingham already 6–1 ahead. [9] He had little opportunity to force himself into a stable first team, and his contract was not extended, his only other league appearance coming at his former employers Nottingham Forest, where he received a good reception from the Forest fans. [10] [11]

HJK

On the transfer deadline day in February 2015, Moussi signed for Finnish club HJK Helsinki. [12]
