In August 2013, Bikey signed a two-year contract with Nantes, after being the subject of interest from English club Everton.[2]

After three months without a club, Bikey signed for Cypriot First Division side Doxa Katokopias in August 2017.[10]
After spending time on loan at Drancy,[11] Bikey signed for Stirling Albion for a third time in August 2019, agreeing a contract until the end of the 2019–20 season.[12] On 11 January 2022, Bikey was released from his contract at Stirling Albion for personal reasons.[13]
