Olivier Bernard (born October 14, 1979 in Paris) is a French footballer who currently plays for Newcastle United.
Bernard made his name during his first spell with Newcastle United after joining from Lyon. He had an evolving career with the Magpies between 2000 and 2005 even though he was at Darlington on loan in the 2000-01 season.
After a dispute over contract negotiations, Bernard left Newcastle in January 2005 to join Southampton on a five month contract.
When Southampton were relegated to the Coca-Cola Championship in 2005, Bernard's contract expired and was not renewed. After leaving Southampton, Bernard signed a two-year deal with Rangers on September 1, 2005.
After only a season with Rangers, and only 9 league appearances, he was released after being made surplus to requirements by new manager Paul Le Guen.
To the delight of many Newcastle United fans Bernard re-signed for them on 1 September 2006 after reneging on an agreement to join Leeds United.[1]
However, his second spell on Tyneside has not started out as well as hoped, with Bernard struggling for fitness and a series of niggling injuries preventing him from making his second debut for Newcastle. The latest injury was reported to be a hip injury. [1]
Also in some newspapers there were reports that because of his injury ridden return to Newcastle he had been released from contract however these were unfounded and Olivier is still fighting to get his fitness back and to play first team football for Newcastle again.
