Chris Vianney Ryan Bilé Bedia (born 5 March 1996) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL Championship club Hull City, on loan from Union Berlin. He represented the Ivory Coast under-20s in the 2015 Toulon Tournament.
Club career
[edit]Tours
[edit]Bedia started his career at the age of 18 with Tours FC in Ligue 2.[2] Despite scoring a brace against Brest, he was unable to establish himself and thus transferred to Sporting Charleroi.
Sporting Charleroi
[edit]After his move to Belgium, Bedia had a strong first season but was subsequently rarely utilized.[3] As a result, he was initially loaned to S.V. Zulte Waregem. However, in 17 games, he failed to score a single goal and returned to Charleroi. Despite being used more frequently after a change in coaching staff, the club loaned him to ES Troyes AC on 14 August 2019.[4] Even there, the purchase option was not exercised, and Bedia returned once again to Charleroi.
He was loaned out again, this time to Sochaux. Having played a strong season there, Montpellier HSC expressed interest in signing the striker.[5]
Servette
[edit]On 24 January 2022, Bedia signed with Servette in the Swiss Super League.[6]
Union Berlin
[edit]On 18 January 2024, Bedia moved to Union Berlin in Germany.[7]
Hull City
[edit]On 22 August 2024, Bedia joined EFL Championship club Hull City on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy.[8] Two days later, on 24 August 2024, he came off the bench to make his debut, a 0–0 home draw with Millwall.[9] On 28 September 2024, he scored a penalty in the 4–1 home win against Cardiff City.[10]
