Buval joined Bolton Wanderers at the age of 16 from the French team AS Nancy Lorraine, but he never quite made the Bolton first team squad due to a recurring knee injury which has dented his hopes of career progression. Buval is a striker by trade.
In November 2006 he moved to French club Red Star Paris.
In July 2007, he signed a 2-year contract with Danish Superliga club Randers FC.
Buval was signed after a trial period for Randers to succeed profile Djiby Fall who Randers had sold for an impressive 15 million Danish kroner.
Buval struggled to become a first team regular and with Søren Berg and Marc Nygaard (two former Danish internationals) joining the team during the winter break, he received additional competition. Eventually, Buval fought his way to the starting lineup as a result of Berg moving down to right midfield due to a lack of succees as a striker. Buval finished his first season in Randers having scored 7 goals in 27 games.[1]
Buval (and Randers) started the new season in great form scoring three goals in the first three matches which made him top goalscorer of the league at the time (a titled shared with Randers teammate Tidiane Sane). Although having received competition from a new offensive player Tiago Targino (former Portuguese under-21 international), Buval has maintained his place in the starting lineup. Despite Buvals success, Randers director Jacob Nielsen has spoken of his desire to add a fast forward to complement tankforward Marc Nygaard in the attack.
Buval was signed after a trial period in 30 July 2009.[2]
On January 13, 2010 it was announced that he had completed a transfer to Panionios, signing a three-and-a-half year deal.[3]
In the summer 2010, he joined Polish club Lechia Gdańsk on one-year contract deal.[4] He was released on 3 July 2011.[5]
