Career

His previous clubs include SC Verl in Germany along with a string of lower league clubs in France, Switzerland and Germany. He signed for Ross County before going on trial at Caley Thistle in May and was offered a permanent contract at the end of the season which he signed on 1 July 2008.[1] He scored his first and what turned out to be only goal in Scottish football in a 3-3 draw with Brechin City whilst playing for Ross County.[2]

On 14 January Djebi-Zadi was told he was free to leave the club on loan,[3] but made his starting debut for Caley on Terry Butcher's first game against Celtic F.C. creating speculation he could be a big player for the rest of the season.

He signed a new 1-year contract after impressing Butcher with his performances during the run in to the season.

He struggled to hold down a regular place in the side and was released at the end of the 2009-10 season after his contract expired.

After a period without a club, Djebi-Zadi signed in 2011 for Saint Louisienne on the Indian Ocean island of La Reunion.

In October 2012 he had an unsuccessful trial with Indonesian club Sriwijaya.

gollark: Some VPS providers probably won't care.
gollark: Well, I assumed they meant when they were in a country other than the one they lived in.
