"At his age he needs to be playing first team football, and in the last six months he has tried hard, but it has been personally difficult for him as he found it tough to play reserve team football when he wanted to be involved in the first team," said Hammers boss Glen Roeder on the club's site.
"The main thing is we came to a satisfactory agreement and we wish him all the best.
"Although he has gone to the second division his ambition is to play well enough to find a Premier League club in France.
"He didn't cost any money, he is a decent lad, and he was worth taking a chance with.
"We have allowed him to leave on a free transfer and I am pleased we have had a look at him; while he was here he was a decent professional and he goes with all our best wishes."
