Veteran Cameroonian forward Stéphane Bahoken has officially joined Kazakh Premier League side FK Qyzyljar Petropavlovsk, marking a fresh phase in his professional career.
Bahoken arrives as a free agent following his departure from Turkish outfit Kayserispor in July 2025. The experienced striker has signed an eight-month contract with his new club, a deal that will keep him in Kazakhstan until December 31, 2026.
The move offers Bahoken an opportunity to reestablish himself after a period without a club, while bringing his experience and physical presence to a side competing in Kazakhstan’s top flight. Known for his strength, aerial ability, and hold-up play, the 32-year-old is expected to add depth and leadership to Qyzyljar’s attacking line.
For FK Qyzyljar, the signing represents a strategic addition as they look to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season. Bahoken’s pedigree at both club level and with Cameroon provides a valuable asset as the team aims to remain competitive in the league.
This transfer signals not just a return to action for Bahoken, but also a chance to write a new chapter in a less familiar footballing environment, as he takes his experience to Central Asia in pursuit of fresh challenges and impact.
