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 mission to try to get a call up to the Ivory Coast national football team.[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, including the post-season tour to Canada.
