Bruno N'Gotty (born June 10, 1971 in Lyon, France) is a French football player of Cameroonian ancestry who currently plays for Birmingham City in the English Championship.
Initially a player at his home team (Olympique Lyonnais), from the opening of season 1988/89 to the close of season 1994/95, he later played for Paris Saint-Germain, A.C. Milan, Venezia A.C., and Olympique de Marseille before moving on loan to Bolton in September 2001.
He made his Bolton debut against Blackburn Rovers, in a match which finished in a 1-1 draw, on September 19, 2001, but didn't score his debut goal for the club until seven months later, his only goal of the season coming in a 3-1 defeat at Everton.
In January 2002, this move became permanent, N'Gotty being cited as one of the prime chances for Bolton success.
His first full season for the club started in unfortunate style, as he received two yellow cards and one red card in his first six games. His performances excelled, however, as he scored his first Bolton goal against Manchester United on February 22. After this rather disappointing start he became a regular part of the first team and was voted the supporters player of the year for the season 2004-2005. However, with manager Sam Allardyce wanting to reduce the average age of the squad, N'Gotty was released at the end of his contract in May 2006 and was subsequently signed by Birmingham on a one year deal on July 6.
