Club career

African Warriors

Lebahi made his debut for National First Division team African Warriors on 21 October 2012, starting in an away match against Black Aces. [3] He scored his first goal for the club on 16 December 2012, helping African Warriors to a 1–1 draw against Stellenbosch. [4]

Lebahi was promoted to club captain for the 2013–14 season. [5] He led the Warriors during their impressive 2013-14 Nedbank Cup run, which saw them knocked out by Maritzburg United after extra time in the quarter-finals. [6]

The 2014–15 campaign saw Lebahi's most productive season yet in terms of goal-scoring, finding the net four times and being voted the club's player of the season. [1] He topped that goal tally in 2015–16, scoring five times, but it proved to not be enough as the Warriors were relegated at the end of the season. [7]

Jomo Cosmos

On 20 July 2016, it was announced that Lebahi had joined newly relegated side Jomo Cosmos. [8] He debuted for the club on 10 September in a 1–1 away draw against Black Leopards. [9] A contractual dispute with Cape Town All Stars, whom Lebahi had reportedly signed a pre-contract with prior to joining Cosmos, kept the Ivorian out of action for over a month after his debut. A court date was set for 29 September, but no representatives from the All Stars were present, and Lebahi was made available for selection again. [10] Lebahi was sent off after receiving a second yellow card against Thanda Royal Zulu on 27 November. [11]

Lebahi suffered yet another setback at the start of the 2017–18 campaign, becoming ineligible to play for the first two months of the season due to an expired work permit. [12] Cosmos managed a third-place finish in 2017–18, with Lebahi scoring once, but they missed out on promotion through the play-offs.[ citation needed ]

Lebahi was announced as the new club captain ahead of the 2018–19 season, replacing former captain Thato Lingwati who had moved to Bloemfontein Celtic. [13] He scored a penalty in Cosmos' 4–0 victory against already-relegated Witbank Spurs on the final day of the season, a crucial result in their narrow escape from relegation. [14]
