Stephane Cedric Bahoken (born 28 May 1992) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Ligue 1 club Angers SCO and the Cameroon national team.
Club Career
Nice
Born in Grasse, Bahoken began his professional career at OGC Nice, having spent seven years at the club's academy since the age of twelve. In the final game of the season, he made his debut, coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute for Julien Sable, in a 2–1 loss against Valenciennes. Coincidentally, his debut was before his birthday. Having made five appearances in the 2011–12 season, he signed his first professional contract on a three-year deal.
In the 2012–13 season, Bahoken started to receive first-team appearances, mostly coming on as a substitute. His season, however, was mostly overshadowed because of his fractured fibula, which sustained in training and was out for several months. While playing for the reserves, he was suspended for three games after an incident off the pitch.
On the last day of the transfer window, Bahoken was linked with a loan move to Le Havre, but the move broke down soon after. Following the failed move, he scored the first two goals in a 2–0 win over Montpellier on 10 March 2013.

Bahoken joined Scottish Premiership side St Mirren on loan on 30 August 2013. He revealed he was recommended by former teammates and St Mirren himself, Esmael Goncalves.

While at St Mirren, he was known to have a bad attitude, describing himself as "a spoilt kid".
Upon his return from loan, Bahoken was to be loaned back out to CA Bastia, but due to regulation restrictions imposed by the LFP it was confirmed he could not play for three clubs in one season. Following this decision, he returned to St Mirren to complete his season long loan. He said he rejoined St Mirren following talks with
