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: To be fair, some people probably weren't managing well, but that's no reason to do this to everyone.
gollark: I was basically fine with the "not much supervision, you get set work" thing, but this is just stupid.
gollark: I mean, I was fine with working remotely. I could get more done, did not have to bother with (as much) busy-work, had a flexible schedule, sort of thing.
gollark: It seems like they just completely disregarded the benefits of asynchronous communication, and decided that they had to make it as much like normal in-person school as possible, even despite the detriment to... actually teaching things.
gollark: I got an email from them (not even to me directly, forwarded from my parents) and:- the removed week of the summer term is being added to the end- they seem to expect to reopen in a month or so?- half the lessons will apparently now involve "human interaction", implying video calls or something, which will be *really annoying*, instead of having them just set work- they're running a timetable?!- I'm expected to be up by 08:45⸘
