Club career
OGC Nice
Bahoken began his professional career at Nice, having spent seven years at the club's academy since the age of twelve.[2] In the final game of the season, Stéphane made his debut, coming on as a substitute in the 79th minutes for Julien Sablé, in a 2–1 loss against Valenciennes. Coincidentally, his debut was before his birthday.[3] Despite making five appearance in the 2011–12 season, Stéphane signed his first professional contract on a three-year contract.[4]
It wasn't until the 2012–13 season, which was a first-team breakthrough for Stéphane as he started to receive a first-team place despite mostly coming on as a substitute. His season was mostly overshadowed because of his fractured fibula, which sustained in training and was out for several month.[5] While playing in the club reserve, Stéphane was suspended for three games after an off the pitch incident.[6]
On the last day of the transfer window, Stéphane was linked with a loan move to Le Havre, but the move broke down soon after.[7][8] Despite a failed move, Stéphane scored the first two goals in a 2-0 win over Montpellier on 10 March 2013. After the match, Stéphane says scoring the first two goals gives him confidences.[6]
St Mirren (loan)
Stéphane joined Scottish Premiership side St Mirren on loan on 30 August 2013.[9] Bahoken revealed he was recommended by former team-mates and St Mirren himself, Esmaël Gonçalves.[10] After playing four times for St Mirren, he returned to his parent club when the loan was cancelled on 31 December 2013.[11] While at St Mirren, Bahoken was known to have a bad attitude, describing himself as "a spoilt kid".[2]
Upon his return from loan, Bahoken was to be loaned back out to CA Bastia,[12] but due to regulation restrictions imposed by the LFP it was confirmed he could not play for three clubs in one season. Following this decision, Bahoken returned to St Mirren to complete his season long loan.[13] Stéphane says he rejoined St Mirren following talks with Manager Claude Puel, as well as, his family.[2] Following his second spell, Manager Danny Lennon urged fans to stand by Stéphane, due to shown 'great desire' and shown to have a "positive attitude".[14][15] After returning to the club, Bahoken failed to make another appearance before his unsuccessful loan spell ended.[16]
RC Strasbourg Alsace
On 29 July 2014, Bahoken signed for RC Strasbourg. He has a two-year contract with the Championnat National club, and will hope to get his career back on track.[17]
International
Stéphane is eligible to play for Cameroon national football team through his father.[18]
