Football career

Born in Amiens, Bijimine graduated with CS Sedan Ardennes' youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2012–13 campaign, in CFA 2. On 19 October 2012 he played his first match as a professional, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–2 home success against AC Arles-Avignon for the Ligue 2 championship.[1]

Bijimine appeared in 14 matches for the first team during the season (seven starts, 690 minutes of action), as his side were relegated. On 23 July 2013 he signed a three-year deal with Italian Lega Pro Prima Divisione side A.C. Perugia Calcio.[2]

On 31 January 2014, after appearing rarely for Perugia, Bijimine was loaned to S.S. Barletta Calcio until June.[3] On 3 September he moved teams and countries again, joining Spanish side Córdoba CF, and being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[4]

On 23 May 2015 Bijimine made his La Liga debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Fede Vico in a 0–3 away loss against SD Eibar, as the Andalusians were already relegated.[5]
