Blackburn defender Gael Givet is keen to return to his native France after seeing his experience in English football turn sour.
Unhappy
Givet, who arrived in Lancashire in 2009 from Marseille, admits the club's slide into the second tier has left him unhappy after seeing his playing time become limited.
"The first two or three years, it was just great," he added. "I had great fun in Premier League.
"Then, the club was relegated. I thought I would leave, but it was not sorted out.
"Being in the Championship was difficult to experience, especially as I didn't play. Frankly I was depressed. It was very difficult.
"I am not the kind to cry, but I questioned myself a lot. It wasn't fun anymore. When everything goes wrong on professional level, everything is dark. You think 'what am I doing here? It is raining 28 days out of 30. The food is not good...'
"You want to go back to France in your village in South of France with your friends and family."
