Yvann Mbaya (6’10 », 23 years old), who had a strong season with Alliance Sport Alsace in Pro B, will continue his career at the higher level. JL Bourg, consistent with its strategy of developing young locally trained players (JFL), has chosen to invest in the French center to strengthen its frontcourt next season.

JL Bourg continues its JFL recruitment with Yvann Mbaya

Having a solid season in Pro B (8.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.0 assist in 43 games), Yvann Mbaya contributed to ASA’s impressive campaign, which reached the promotion playoff finals this Thursday evening. His verticality and defensive impact made him a rising value in the championship.

After developing in Saint-Quentin’s youth academy and then Élan Chalon’s (2017 to 2021), Mbaya played for Poitiers (NM1) and Le Portel, where he got his first taste of top-level basketball in Jeep Elite. However, due to limited playing time, he returned to Pro B. At Gries-Souffel with ASA, he established himself as a reliable and deterrent center.

Mbaya replaces Pansa, who is expected in Spain

JL Bourg continues its targeted recruitment of potential players from Pro B. After signing Assemian Moulare (Vichy) and Narcisse Ngoy (Rouen, loaned to Poitiers), the Bresse club continues to strengthen its JFL base, with a medium-term development strategy.

At Bourg, Yvann Mbaya will share the center position with Kevin Kokila, who extended his contract until 2027. He will therefore replace Jean-Marc Pansa. Arriving in summer 2024, the French international is expected to move to Spain. In his place and in the same role, Mbaya now has the opportunity to establish himself in an environment conducive to development.
