Grégory José Henri Béranger (born 30 August 1981 in Nice) is a French retired footballer who played mainly as a left back.

Football career

After starting out professionally with AS Cannes, in the lower leagues, Béranger moved to Spain in 2005, playing three seasons in its second division, two of those with CD Numancia. In 2007–08, he was one of the Soria team's most utilized players (37 matches, 3.313 minutes of action) as it returned to La Liga after a three-year absence.

In July 2008 Béranger signed for RCD Espanyol, being fairly used in his first year. He made his league debut on 30 August by playing the entire 1–0 home win against Real Valladolid,^[1] but he too struggled with some injuries, also being involved in a training incident with teammate Carlos Kameni late into the campaign.^[2]

Béranger returned to the Spanish second level after just one season, loaned to UD Las Palmas. In July 2010, one month shy of his 29th birthday, he was definitely released by Espanyol, resuming his career in the same division with CD Tenerife.
