Career

In August 2013, Bikey signed a two-year contract with Nantes, after being the subject of interest from English club Everton.[2]

On 25 November 2016, Scottish League Two club Stirling Albion signed Bikey on an amateur contract.[3] During his time at the club, Bikey scored nine goals in nine games in all competitions.

On 27 January 2017, Bikey signed for Heart of Midlothian after leaving Stirling Albion a day prior.[4][5] Bikey had been training at city rivals Hibernian ahead of a possible transfer.[6] Hearts signed Bikey on amateur forms to avoid paying a compensation fee to Dieppe, one of his former clubs.[7] After two months with Hearts, Bikey returned to Forthbank, joining Stirling Albion on loan until the end of the season.[8] After just four months with Hearts, Bikey was released from the club at the end of his contract in May 2017.[9]

After three months without a club, Bikey signed for Cypriot First Division side Doxa Katokopias in August 2017.[10]

After spending time on loan at JA Drancy,[11] Bikey signed for Stirling Albion for a third time in August 2019, agreeing a contract until the end of the 2019–20 season.[12]
