In August 2007, Wiltord then moved back to his youth club Stade Rennes for 1.5 million euros. In January 2009 he joined Olympique Marseille and received a contract there until the end of the season. After this contract had expired, he kept fit for six months at US Créteil , only to sign a half-year contract with second division FC Metz in January 2010 , which would have been extended by another year in the event of promotion. After a year without a contract, Wiltord signed a contract with FC Nantes in July 2011. After its expiry in 2012, he decided to end his professional career.

In the final against Italy, he was the French’s first penalty taker and was able to convert his shot.
