Yao Séyram Junior Sènaya (born 19 April 1984 in Lomé) is a Togolese football player who currently plays as a striker for FC La Chaux-de-Fonds. He can also play as a midfielder.

He is the younger brother of Yao Mawuko Sènaya.

[edit] Football career

Sènaya has spent his entire professional career in Switzerland, playing for many teams including FC Basel. He is a core member of the Togo national team and played in the 2006 African Cup of Nations as well as the 2006 World Cup in Germany where he made appearances in all three games Togo played.

Yao Junior Sènaya is easy to pick out on the pitch, being known his more "exotic" hairstyles. At the African Nations Cup in 2006 he had bleach blonde hair.

He is a popular figure with the Togo fans. Such is his popularity that former Togo coach Tchalile Bana was forced to seek police protection from angry supporters following Sènaya's substitution during a 2002 World Cup qualifier tie against rivals Angola.
