Career

Paris Saint-Germain

Born in Valence, Bachirou started his career in the youth teams at local side Football Club de la Place de Clichy, before winning a move to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain, where he played in the CFA side in the French third division – scoring once against UJA Maccabi Paris Métropole.[2]

Greenock Morton

Bachirou transferred to Greenock Morton in July 2010, after a trial spell at the club.[3] He made his competitive debut for Greenock Morton in a Scottish Challenge Cup match against Dumbarton on 25 July 2010.[4] In June 2011, Bachirou signed a new one-year contract at Morton.[5] After over 50 appearances for the club, Bachirou scored his first goal in a 2–2 draw with Queen of the South on 7 April 2012.[6] Bachirou stated he would not be seeking a new contract with the club in May 2012.[7] On 17 August 2012, Bachirou made a U-turn and re-signed for the club,[8] after rejecting a move to league rivals Hamilton Accies.[9]

In September 2013, he signed a contract extension until summer 2015.[10]

Östersunds FK

Bachirou made a surprise move to Östersunds FK in August 2014.[11] He made his debut from the bench away to promoted club Husqvarna FF.[12] During his time at Östersund they managed to get a promotion to Allsvenskan, win the Swedish Cup and qualify for the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League.

Malmö FF

Bachirou playing for Malmö FF in 2018.

On 9 January 2018, Swedish champions Malmö FF confirmed the transfer of Bachirou for an estimated fee of around 7 million SEK (roughly £600,000).

Nottingham Forest

On 26 August 2020, Bachirou joined EFL Championship side Nottingham Forest for an undisclosed transfer fee.[13] He made his first-team debut in a 1–0 EFL Cup defeat to Barnsley. Despite being Sabri Lamouchi's 'priority target' during the summer transfer window, Bachirou made only three appearances for Forest during the 2020–21 season.[14][15] At the end of the season, Bachirou was told that he was not in Chris Hughton's plans and was free to leave the club.[16]

Omonia FC

On 16 August 2021, Bachirou joined Cypriot First Division side Omonia Nicosia on a free transfer.[17] In two years, he helped the club win the Cypriot Cup twice.[18]

Matlock Town

On 21 October 2024, Bachirou returned to England, joining Northern Premier League Premier Division side Matlock Town.[19]

International career

In February 2014, Bachirou received a call-up to the Comoros national team for their friendly against Burkina Faso.[20] Bachirou played for 90 minutes as Comoros recorded a respectable 1–1 draw in Marseille, France.[21]

He made his first competitive appearance, and won his second cap, in the first leg of an Africa Cup of Nations first round qualifier away to Kenya in Nairobi.[22] Bachirou started the match but could not prevent Comoros from suffering a 1–0 defeat.

Personal life

Bachirou is a Muslim, and his parents hail from the Comoros.[23] In 2019, he married his Scottish fiancée, Debbie.
