Cédric Gogoua Kouame (born 10 July 1994) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Serbian club Partizan.
Club career
Early career
Born in Abidjan, Gogoua started out his senior career with Africa Sports in early 2010, at the age of 15. He was then a member of the team that won the national league in 2011. Afterwards, Gogoua unexpectedly left the club in March 2012, allegedly going on a trial to Thailand.[1] At that time he had been with the club for three years, ever since he joined Africa Sports coming from Sabé Sports de Bouna.[2] He subsequently spent some time playing with Issia Wazy, before moving abroad to Finland.[3]
SJK
In April 2014, after a successful trial at the club, Gogoua signed a permanent contract with SJK.[4] He initially played for their reserve side Kerho 07, before being promoted to the main squad. Eventually, Gogoua made his debut for SJK on 17 May 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 home league win over IFK Mariehamn.[5] He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 home league victory over MYPA on 25 October 2014.[6] Due to his performances, Gogoua was named the league's best defender in 2014, as the club finished as runners-up to HJK.[7][8][9] He subsequently helped them win the league in the following season, the first title in the club's history.[10] In November 2015, Gogoua signed a one-year extension to his contract, keeping him at SJK until the end of 2017.[11]
Partizan
On 17 January 2016, Gogoua officially joined Serbian club Partizan, penning a four-year deal and choosing the number 51 jersey.[12] He was joined by his compatriot Ismaël Béko Fofana.
International career
Gogoua represented Ivory Coast at Under-17 and Under-20 level.[3]
