found some french link on news now and translated it into english,
make of this what you can.


In training course with the UNFP, Benoît Croissant played one hour last weekend into friendly vis-a-vis with Libourne-Saint-Seurin. The central defender has some tracks, of which one in Israel and another on the side of England. "I am in contact with Swindon Town FC, the club plays in League One in England, entrusted Benoît to us Growing (27 years on August 9) who always hopes to find a club in France. I received some calls of agents saying to me that they were on tracks but no offer concretes put aside an Israeli club "added the central defender trained to Troyes.
