Cédric Bardon (born 15 October 1976) is a French footballer who plays for PFC Levski Sofia.

[edit] Career

He began his career at the local Olympique Lyonnais in 1992-93. He stayed in the team after 1997-98, having proven himself as an established player. Bardon played for Stade Rennais FC between 1998-99 and 2000-01, then moved to En Avant Guingamp to remain there until January 2004, when he was transferred to Le Havre AC.

Bardon was then signed by Bulgarian team PFC Levski Sofia, for which he played in the UEFA Cup 2005-06, notably scoring a goal against AJ Auxerre in Levski's 2-1 loss and being controversially sent off by referee Mike Riley in the first leg against FC Schalke 04 in the quarter finals. With Levski Sofia he reached 1/4 finals of UEFA Cup in 2005-06. Next season, Levski Sofia with Bardon, reached the group-stage of UEFA Champions League, becoming the first Bulgarian team that reached the groups.

On 14 January 2008 he signed for the Israeli team, Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv F.C. He scored two goals for his debut on January 26, 2008 against FC Ashdod and Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv F.C. went on to win the match 3-2.

[edit] Anorthosis Famagusta

After the season 2007/2008 he was transferred to Cypriot champion Anorthosis Famagusta, which paid US$200,000 for him. ^[1]. With Anorthosis, Bardon played in the Champions League, the first time for a Cypriot team. In the group stage, they earned their first point following a 0-0 away draw with Werder Bremen, then got their first win beating Panathinaikos FC 3-1 while Hawar Mulla Mohammed became the first Iraqi player to score in the UEFA Champions League, although they lost to Inter Milan 1-0 at San Siro, they drew 3-3 in GSP Stadium. In their 5th Champions League game, Anorthosis had a chance to make it to the knock-out stage if they would have won against Werder Bremen. Anorthosis went up 2-0, but in the second half Diego made the score 2-1, and minutes before the match ended, Hugo Almeida managed to equalise for Bremen, and the match finished 2-2. Anorthosis still had a chance to get into the knock-out stage in the final match against Panathinaikos if they would have won. Unfortunately, during the last game they lost 1-0 away to Panathinaikos. Inter (who had already qualified for the next stage) lost 1-0 to Bremen, meaning that Anorthosis finished fourth - missing out on a consolation UEFA Cup place.
