Club career

Tours

Bedia started his career at the age of 18 with Tours FC in Ligue 2.[2] Despite scoring a brace against Brest, he was unable to establish himself and thus transferred to Sporting Charleroi.

Sporting Charleroi

After his move to Belgium, Bedia had a strong first season but was subsequently rarely utilized.[3] As a result, he was initially loaned to S.V. Zulte Waregem. However, in 17 games, he failed to score a single goal and returned to Charleroi. Despite being used more frequently after a change in coaching staff, the club loaned him to ES Troyes AC on August 14, 2019.[4] Even there, the purchase option was not exercised, and Bedia returned once again to Charleroi.

He was loaned out again, this time to Sochaux. Having played a strong season there, Montpellier HSC expressed interest in signing the striker.[5]

Servette

On 24 January 2022, Bedia signed with Servette in the Swiss Super League.[6]

Union Berlin

On 18 January 2024, Bedia moved to Union Berlin in Germany.[7]
