Brice Dja Djédjé (born 23 December 1990 in Aboudé) is an Ivorian footballer who plays for English club Watford in the Premier League. He plays as a right-back or wing-back and began his career training at the Camp des Loges, the training centre of Paris Saint-Germain.[1][2] Dja Djédjé's older brother, Franck, is also a footballer.

Career

Evian

Dja Djédjé started his career with French side Evian and amassed over 100 appearances, scoring six times across four seasons.[3]

Marseille

On 28 January 2014, Dja Djédjé signed a four-and-a-half year deal with Ligue 1 club Olympique de Marseille.[4] After sitting on the bench for some matches early in his Marseille career, Dja Djédjé quickly became a regular starter, displacing Rod Fanni as the club's first-choice right-back.

In the 2014–15 season, Dja Djédjé operated as a wing-back in several matches as manager Marcelo Bielsa looked for him to provide width and support for Marseille’s wide attacks.[5]

On 20 January 2016, he scored his first and only goal for Marseille in the Coupe de France in a 2–0 home win against Montpellier.[6]

Watford

On 21 July 2016, Dja Djédjé joined Premier League side Watford for £3 million on a four-year deal.[7] However, a foot injury meant he was left out of the Hornets' Premier League squad for the first half of the 2016/17 season.

International career

Dja Djédjé made his debut for Ivory Coast on 14 August 2013 in a 4–1 friendly defeat to Mexico.[8] He rejected the chance to appear at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, deciding to opt for the guaranteed starting place at Marseille in favour of a lesser role with the national team.[9]
