Football career

Born in Agadez, Yahaya began playing with JS du Ténéré. In 1995, he started an abroad adventure that would last more than a decade, first with Sokół Tychy then with Hutnik Kraków – he spent most of his career in Poland, amassing Ekstraklasa totals of 77 games and 17 goals over the course of six seasons.

After two-and-a-half years with relative impact with Albacete Balompié (Spanish second division), scoring 13 times from 72 competitive matches, and a brief spell with Greece's Trikala FC, Yahaya returned to Poland, representing GKS Katowice (2001, 2003–05) and Legia Warsaw (2001–02). From 2005 onwards he continued in the latter country, but in an amateur level (fourth division), with Rega-Merida Trzebiatów (one season) and Mazur Karczew.

Yahaya was also a full Nigerien international in the 90s.
