[edit] Career
Bouadji started off his career at AS Saint-Étienne, before moving to England to play for Carshalton Athletic, where he played 41 times, and won Player of the Year.[1]
The following season was very up and down, as he played for Gravesend & Northfleet, Margate & Carshalton Athletic for a second spell, all within 8 months.
In Summer 2005, Bouadji moved to Scotland to play under former manager Graham Roberts at Scottish First Division outfit Clyde.[2] He made his debut in a Scottish Challenge Cup defeat to Brechin City in July 2005, but he came off injured in this game and missed the next 3 months of the season. He returned as a substitute in games against Ross County and Hamilton Academical.
Bouadji came on as a substitute in Clyde's famous Scottish Cup win over Celtic in January 2006, where he replaced Craig Bryson and surprisingly played as a holding midfield player, marking Roy Keane and Neil Lennon. He scored his first Clyde goal in February 2006 in a 5-0 win over Stranraer. Bouadji dedicated this goal to his father, who had fallen seriously ill, and made it his goal to try and get a call up to the Ivory Coast international squad.[3]
Bouadji scored his second Clyde goal in a win over Airdrie United, and once again dedicated this goal to his dad.[4] The next week saw Bouadji go off injured early on in a match against Hamilton Academical. This would be the last action of his Clyde career, as he was injured for the rest of the season.
Bouadji left Clyde in summer 2006.
He returned to England to play for Tooting & Mitcham United, where he became an integral part of the defence, winning the Surrey Senior Cup & the London Senior Cup, finishing 2nd in the Isthmian League Division One South. Bouadji was suspended for T&M's Playoff games, which they ended up losing[5]
He then joined Fisher Athletic in Summer 2007. He stayed there until his contract expired in November 2007. Bouadji then signed for Tooting & Mitcham United for a second time.
