Career

He signed for Ross County in 2005. He scored his first and what turned out to be only goal in Scottish football in a 3–3 draw with Brechin City whilst playing for Ross County. [2]

Djebi-Zadi went on trial at Inverness CT in May 2008[ citation needed ] and was offered a one-year contract at the end of the season which he signed on 1 July. [3] On 14 January 2009, Djebi-Zadi was told he was free to leave the club on loan, [4] but made his starting debut for Caley on Terry Butcher's first game against Celtic creating speculation he could be a big player for the rest of the season. He signed a new one-year contract after impressing Butcher with his performances during the run in to the season. He struggled to hold down a regular place in the side and was released at the end of the 2009–10 season after his contract expired.

After a period without a club, Djebi-Zadi signed in 2011 for Saint Louisienne on the Indian Ocean island of La Reunion.

In October 2012 he had an unsuccessful trial with Indonesian club Sriwijaya.
