Club Career

Yatabare was born in the French town of Beauvais, and began his career at his hometown club AS Beauvais. He stayed at the club until 2005, before signing for Amiens SC, to be part of the youth system. In 2006, he joined Championnat National side Villemomble Sports, scoring eight goals in 25 appearances, before earning a move to Ligue 2 side Clermont Foot in 2008.

Boulogne

Yatabare moved to Ligue 1 side US Boulogne in January 2010. They were relegated at the end of the season.

Guingamp

During the summer of 2011, Yatabare moved to the Ligue 2 side En Avant de Guingamp. He did not score in his first season.

At the beginning of the 2012–13 season, he scored eight goals within the ten first games, including successive goals from the sixth to the tenth game. He finished that season as the Ligue 2 top scorer, with 23 goals, and contributed six assists. His goal-scoring exploits helped earn the Briton club promotion back into Ligue 1 after two years in the second division.

Yatabare scored his first goal of the 2013–14 Ligue 1 season on the opening day of the campaign, but it came in a losing effort as Guingamp fell 3–1 to Marseille. He scored his sixth league goal on 25 January 2014 in Guingamp's 1–1 draw with reigning champions PSG.

In the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France on 26 March 2014, Yatabare scored both goals in Guingamp's 2–0 victory over AS Cannes. On 16 April, Yatabare scored twice against AS Monaco in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France as Guingamp won 3–1 in extra time to reach the final.
