Bedi Bastien Buval (born 16 June 1986) is a Martiniquais former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Club career[]

Born in Domont, Val-d'Oise, Buval joined Bolton Wanderers at the age of 16 from AS Nancy, but he never broke through to the first team as a senior, being limited to reserve football[1][2] and also suffering from recurring knee problems. In November 2006, he returned to his country and signed for FC Red Star Saint-Ouen in the Championnat National.

In July 2007, Buval agreed to a two-year contract with Danish Superliga club Randers FC, joining after a trial period as a replacement for Djiby Fall who had left at the end of the previous season. He struggled initially to become a first-team regular and, with Søren Berg and Marc Nygaard (both former Danish internationals) joining the team during the winter break, he received additional competition; eventually, as Berg moved to right midfielder, the Frenchman begun appearing more, and finished the campaign with seven goals in 27 games.

Buval signed with Panthrakikos F.C. in Greece on 30 July 2009. On 13 January of the following year, he moved to fellow Superleague side Panionios FC, scoring only three goals combined during the season and suffering relegation with the former.

In the 2010 summer, Buval changed clubs – and countries – again, joining Lechia Gdańsk from Poland on a one-year deal.[3] He was released on 3 July 2011.[4]

On 16 September 2011, after a successful trial, Buval signed for two years with C.D. Feirense in Portugal.[5] He was awarded the Primeira Liga's SJPF Player of the Month award for the month of December, after scoring against Vitória de Setúbal (1–1 away draw)[6] and U.D. Leiria (two goals, 2–1 home success),[7] and finished the season as team top scorer but they were eventually relegated just one year after promoting.

On 23 July 2012, Buval joined Göztepe S.K. in Turkey on a three-year contract.[8] On 31 January of the following year, however, he changed teams and countries once again, signing for Denmark's Vejle Boldklub Kolding until the end of the campaign.[9]

In the following years, in quick succession, Buval represented Académica de Coimbra, F.C. Paços de Ferreira, S.C. Olhanense and Flamurtari Vlorë, agreeing to a two-and-a-half-year contract with the latter on 28 January 2015 for a reported €11,000 per month.[10] He left on 17 October, claiming he was not being paid by the club.[11]

In February 2016, Buval joined FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the German Regionalliga Nordost.[12]

International career[]

Buval chose to represent Martinique internationally. He scored in his debut on 16 November 2014, helping to a 2–0 group stage win over Antigua and Barbuda for that year's Caribbean Cup.[13]
