He joined Valenciennes FC in 2013 and played five seasons for the club before being released in 2018.

In February 2019 he joined Annecy FC. [2] On 28 May 2020, it was announced that his contract at Annecy, which had just been promoted to the Championnat National, would not be renewed. [3]

In summer 2022, after two seasons at Racing Besançon, Yamissi retired from playing and became assistant coach to David Le Frapper at the club. [4]
