Ladjie Soukouna (born 15 December 1990) is a French footballer who plays as a defender and midfielder. He is currently playing for French fifth tier side CO Les Ulis. Soukouna had previously played for the B-team of Créteil for two seasons and for English Football League side Plymouth Argyle for the 2011-12 season.

Career[]

Soukouna started his career for French Championnat National side US Créteil-Lusitanos. However, he did not make an appearance for the first team, only playing in reserve team matches.[2]

On 21 July 2011, he joined Football League Two club Plymouth Argyle, then managed by Peter Reid, on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract, after impressing during a pre-season trial.[3][4] Soukouna had spent the earlier part of the year on trial with numerous English Football League clubs, including Brighton and Morecambe. He made his professional debut for Argyle in a 1–1 draw at Shrewsbury Town on 6 August.[5] Soukouna scored his first goal for Plymouth in a 2–2 draw with Accrington Stanley on 8 October, by which point Carl Fletcher had replaced Reid as manager.[6] Soukouna was released by the club on 31 August 2012, after an injury hit pre-season,[7] having been told by manager Fletcher that he was surplus to requirements earlier in the week.

In 2014, Soukouna was reported to have been back in France playing for Créteil B at an amateur level.[8]

For the 2016-17 season, it was noted that Soukouna had been signed by CO Les Ulis, then of the 7th tier of French football. For the 2018-19 season, Soukouna was still at the club, now of the Championnat National 3.[9]
