Career

Club career

Born in Montpellier, France, [2] 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. [3] He was offered a five-year contract at Spanish La Liga side FC Barcelona, although the offer was later withdrawn, [4] [5] and instead joined another Spanish Barcelona-based club RCD Espanyol in June 1998. [5] 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. [3]

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. [2] After one more game at the start of the following season, [2] he was signed in August by English Division Two side Brentford for £150,000 by manager–chairman Ron Noades. [4] He played only six games with Brentford, and another four with Plymouth Argyle in English Division Three at the end of the same season. [2]

Javary moved back to Scotland and played a game on trial with Division One side Partick Thistle in October 2001, [6] before he returned to Raith Rovers the following month. He played another seven games with Raith, [2] 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. [7] He was given a one-month loan spell at Walsall in January 2003, but was suffering from tonsilitis and never played a game. [2] [8] In July 2003, Javary was one of four senior players to be told he could leave the club by Neil Warnock, [9] before he was released from his contract in September 2003; Javary decided to return to France. [10] He played 14 games with Sheffield United, all but one in the league, and scored one goal against Watford. [2] [11]

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. [12] [13] He was released by Hamilton during the 2005 summer, [14] after he had played 13 league matches, during which time he scored one goal against Falkirk. [2] [15] After his release he moved back to Réunion, again with Excelsior, [12] and later moved on to FC Avirons.

In 2008, Javary moved to Australia to find an A-League team to continue his career. [16]

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. [4] [5]
