[edit] French career

Colleter begin his football career with his local team Brest (1986 - 1990). After some impressive performances, Colleter was rewarded - his performances meant he was soon to be a French B international left-back; he also played for Montpellier (1990 - 1991), Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) (1991 - 1996), Bordeaux (1996 - 1997) and Olympique de Marseille (1997 - 1998) in his native France.

Whilst with PSG, he won the French League Championship in 1994, the French Cup in 1993 and 1995 and the French League Cup in 1995 as well as the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996.

[edit] Southampton

In December 1998, he was signed by David Jones and moved to The Dell for £300,000.

He played at left-back at Southampton making his debut on 26 December 1998 at home to Chelsea taking the place of the long-established left-back, Francis Benali.

He scored his solitary Premiership goal with a long-range strike in a 3-1 victory at home to Charlton Athletic on 9 January 1999.

He was a fiery but able full-back, but his career at Southampton suffered following Dave Jones' replacement as manager by Glenn Hoddle. Hoddle was not keen on the Gallic method of defending and Colleter was left to grow frustrated in the Reserves.

The eventual parting with Southampton was rather acrimonious when in November 2000 he moved back to French football with Cannes.

In all he played 26 games for Southampton, scoring 1 goal.

[edit] Return to France

He left Cannes in December 2002 and later played for Saint-Médard-en-Jalles before becoming a coach back at Bordeaux.
