Club career
Gnahoua was born in London and is of French and Ivorian descent.[3] He was coached and taught how to play football by his brother.[4] He began his senior career in non-league football, joining Macclesfield Town from Stalybridge Celtic in 2012.[5] He then moved on to Kidderminster Harriers in January 2016,[6] and was their top goal scorer in the 2016–17 season as they reached the National League North play-off semi-finals.[3]
He joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on a free transfer in May 2017, signing a one-year deal with an option for a further year,[3] making his Football League debut on 5 August 2017 as a substitute in a 1−0 victory over Northampton Town.[7] Gnahoua scored his first professional goal in a 3−2 victory over Coventry City in an EFL Trophy group-stage match on 29 August,[8] followed by his first Football League goal - netting a 94th-minute winner in a 2−1 away win at Doncaster Rovers - on 26 September.[9]
His contract with Shrewsbury was extended at the end of the 2017–18 season.[10]
He was released by Carlisle at the end of the 2018–19 season.[11]
Gnahoua re-joined Macclesfield Town in August 2019 on a one-year contract.[12]
