Bilel Mohsni (born 21 July 1987) is a French-born Tunisian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Etoile Sportive du Sahel and the Tunisian national team. Mohsni has previously played for CO Les Ulis, Mende, US Saint-Georges, Sainte-Geneviève Sports, Southend United, Ipswich Town, Rangers and Paris FC.
Mohsni is of Tunisian descent and grew up in the Les Ulis suburb of Paris, France.
In his homeland, he played for CO Les Ulis (twice), Mende, US Saint-Georges and Sainte-Genevieve Sports at the beginning of his career, between the years of 2005 and 2010. He combined playing part-time with coaching children in the community.
In the summer of 2010, Mohsni moved to England on the advice of his agent to sign with Southend United of League Two. He was one of seventeen new signings, as new manager Paul Sturrock rebuilt the side following a turbulent period in the club's history which left the club with only a handful of players and in the bottom rung of England's professional football ladder. This followed a successful trial period. This move came despite difficulties in securing his transfer from the French club, after delays in getting the necessary paperwork from the French Football Federation. In September 2010, he signed a new two-year deal with the club.
Mohsni made his Southend debut and his first game in professional football against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup on 24 August 2010. Mohsni had a goal disallowed for offside and hit the crossbar in the game Southend eventually lost 2–1 after extra time. On 27 August, Mohsni made his league debut against Bradford City. Mohsni scored his first goal for the club on 13 November 2010 in a 1–1 draw against Accrington Stanley. On 21 January 2011 Mohsni scored a 96th-minute equaliser against Bury to salvage a 1–1 draw. In the following game at home to Macclesfield Town, Mohsni was picked to start up front following his leveller against Bury and an injury to Barry Corr. He scored twice in a 4–1 win, with involvement in one of the other goals. On 31 January 2011, Southend rejected a bid of £250,000 from Blackpool for Mohsni. On 5 February 2011 against Shrewsbury Town Mohsni was stretchered off amidst fears he had suffered a broken ankle, scans later revealed no break or fracture but he had suffered ligament damage and would be out of action for at least two months. Mohsni made his return from injury on 2 April 2011 playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 draw against Aldershot Town. His return to first team action also saw him suffer a broken nose after being elbowed by a player.
