Career
Known for his dogged displays in the middle of the park, Bazié began his career in India with Rainbow AC in 2017–18 Calcutta Premier Division. His good performance in the CFL caught the attention of East Bengal officials, and he was signed by East Bengal ahead of the 2017-18 I-League season.
For some problem(salary)East Bengal released Bazié in January 2018, after losing twice against arch-rivals Mohun Bagan in I-League[4]. However, it did not take long for Bazié to find a new home, as he was scouted by Minerva Punjab,[5] with whom he eventually won the title.
After a fruitful short stint with Minerva, he returned to Kolkata and joined Mohammedan SC for the 2018–19 CFL.[6]
In September 2018, Bazie signed with newly promoted I-League club Real Kashmir F.C. where he has played almost all matches in 2018–19 season and scored 4 goals. His brilliant performance in season 2018–19 season earned him a contract for season 2019–20.
