Career

He went on to sign a two-year contract for Yeovil Town from Paris Saint-Germain following his release on a free transfer on 22 July 2004. [3] [4] Yeovil manager, Gary Johnson commented on the new signing saying; "Nicolas is a good athlete and a good footballer and he's got that French bit of class about him". [3] He made his debut for Yeovil Town against Bury in the 3–1 away defeat in the League Two match, replacing Lee Johnson as a substitute in the 80th minute. [5] Mirza made two more appearances for Yeovil in League Two and one in the Football League Trophy. [6] In October, he signed on loan for Conference National club Forest Green Rovers. [2] He was sent out on loan to Conference South side Weymouth in January 2005, [7] where Yeovil manager Gary Johnson's brother, Steve was manager. [7] Steve Johnson cancelled Mirza and Kezie Ibe's loan spell early in March stating; "They still had two weeks of their current loan spells left but I have sent them back because, although they are both good players, they weren't doing enough for me". [8] On his return to Yeovil, he was transfer listed. [9]

Mirza moved Pacy Vallée-d'Eure, before joining Paris FC in 2009. [1]
