Bedimo: Former Lyon and Marseille defender quits football at age 36

Former Marseille and Lyon left-back Henri Bedimo has retired from professional football at the age of 36.

Bedimo spent his entire career in France after leaving Douala at the age of 15, and he was part of the Montpellier squad that won the 2011-12 Ligue 1 title.

He started his career at Grenoble in 2002 before moving to Toulouse a year later, where he spent three years and made his debut appearance in the French top-flight.

Lack of first-team opportunities made Bedimo move to Ligue 2 side Le Havre on a free transfer in 2006 where he spent a season before joining their rivals Chateauroux the following season.
