The Congo international then signed for Northampton Town and made 20 appearances for the Cobblers last term before moving on to Swindon in February.

Missilou was part of the Robins’ side relegation from League One earlier this year and was not offered a new contract by the Wiltshire club.

Other spells

Before his move to the Football League, the midfielder had spent his whole career to date in France with stints at Auxerre, Stade Brest and Le Puy Foot.

It will be interesting to see if he moves back to Europe now or looks for a club in England.
