Johaneko Louis-Jean (born 28 June 2004) is a French professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Spanish club Bilbao Athletic.[2]
Club career
On 2 January 2022, Louis-Jean made his professional debut for Bordeaux in a 3–0 Coupe de France loss to Brest.[2] After a loan spell in Spain with CD Lugo, in August 2024 he signed for Athletic Bilbao in the wake of the cancellation of his contract as Bordeaux collapsed economically.[3]
After two years with the reserve team, he trained with the senior squad ahead of the 2026–27 season[4] and made his La Liga debut on 27 August 2026, starting at left-back in place of the suspended Yuri Berchiche in a 2–0 defeat to FC Barcelona at Camp Nou.[5][6] He became only the third player born in France to play for Athletic and the first of Afro-Caribbean descent.
