Damien Mozika arrived at Chester City before the start of the 2008/09 season after spending time on trial with the club. Previously with AS Nancy and CS Louhans-Cuiseaux in his native France. He made his Chester debut in a 6-0 defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge on 09 August 2008.Some excellent performances for Chester led to speculation regarding at least four championship clubs keeping an eye on him, but nothing actually materialised. His first league goal ironically came against Bury in September 2008.

Injuries kept him out of the side for long periods of their campaign and he was eventually released at the end of the season, along with most of the remaining squad.Damien then vanished from the footballing world and it later appeared that he had been playing in Iran for Tarbiat Yazd FC. Following his release from Iran at the end of last season, Damien came back to the UK on trial with Bury.The club spent the best part of a month in touch with the French FA and the Iranian FA attempting to secure international clearance. Thankfully the necessary clearance arrived towards the end of August and Damien claimed a place in the side following an injury to Peter Sweeney.He kept his place until the end of the season until he collected a three game suspension following a red card with only five games to go.Damien made 35 appearances and scored twice as the Shakers sealed promotion back to League One
