Career

edit

Born in France, Razak spent the majority of his career within the borders of Paris, playing for amateur clubs including Chantilly, FC Les Lilas, Levallois SC[2] in 2008[3] and FC Igny.

He made several efforts to ply his trade outside France. Dutch Eerste Divisie club RBC Roosendaal offered Razak a trial which was unsuccessful for him.[4]

in 2007 Razak spent some time on trial at Isthmian League Premier Division outfit Dover Athletic. Dover manager Andy Hessenthaler was keen to sign the Frenchman but Razak's wage demands were seen as unreasonable and deal was not concluded.[5]

In January 2009, Swindon Town manager Danny Wilson offered Razak and Lecsinel Jean-François a chance to impress in the reserve fixture against Swansea City. Razak scored three goals in the 6–3 win.[6] Both of the trial players earned contracts until the end of the 2008–09 season.[citation needed] Razak made his debut as a substitute in the 0–0 draw at Oldham Athletic.[7]

Despite scoring in trial matches for both Crewe Alexandra[8][9] and Yeovil Town[citation needed] he failed to earn a contract[10] and returned to France with Red Star Saint-Ouen.
