Yannick 'Yala' Bolasie (born May 24, 1989 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo) is a midfielder for English Football League club Plymouth Argyle, on loan at Barnet.
[edit] Career
Bolasie began his career as a youth team player with Rushden & Diamonds before spending a season with non-league Hillingdon Borough. Bolasie then moved across Europe to join Maltese Premier League club Floriana. He made 24 appearances for the club, predominantly as a winger - utilising his explosive pace, scoring four goals.
He subsequently came to the attention of Plymouth Argyle and, following a two-week trial, the club signed him for a nominal fee on a two year contract, beating off competition from Sturm Graz, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, and FC Vaduz in the process.
In order to gain more first-team experience, Bolasie rejoined Conference National club Rushden & Diamonds on loan for a month on 24 November 2008 and played the full 90 minutes on his debut in their victory over Eastbourne Borough.
Yala has had his loan extended by a month, and in January 2009 joined Barnet on loan. He then joined Barnet on loan again for the 2009/10 season.
Yala went to Cardinal Hinsley High School in London.
Bolasie is the cousin of former Newcastle United and Portsmouth striker Lomano LuaLua and current Newcastle player Kazenga LuaLua. [1]
