Yannis N’Gakoutou has completed a permanent move from AS Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône to Jura Sud Foot, signing on a free transfer in a deal that runs from 2026-02-02 to 2026-02-02. The 27‑year‑old right-back joins the National 3 side after a short spell with L’Aumône, further extending his career in the French lower divisions.
The transfer sees Jura Sud add an experienced defensive option who is comfortable on the right side of the back line. The move was finalised without a transfer fee, with N’Gakoutou arriving as a free agent, and no current market value is listed for the player. Both clubs compete in France’s National 3 structure, with L’Aumône coming from Group D and Jura Sud active in Group G, so the switch keeps the defender within the same tier but offers a new regional and competitive context.
N’Gakoutou’s career path has been firmly rooted in France since his youth. Born in Saint-Denis and holding both Gabonese and French nationality, he came through the AS Monaco system, progressing from the U19 side to the U21 squad. His step up to Monaco’s U21s was accompanied by a peak market valuation of €100,000 during his time at Lyon – La Duchère, underlining the promise he once carried as a developing full-back.
Following his departure from Monaco’s U21s, N’Gakoutou experienced several moves across the French pyramid. Spells at GOAL FC (Grand Ouest Association Lyonnaise FC), Lyon – La Duchère, and FC 93 Bobigny preceded multiple periods without a club, highlighting a career marked by restarts and short-term stays. He later signed for FC Balagne and then AS Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône, continuing to operate in the National 2 and National 3 environment.
The defender’s most recent transfers reflect that pattern. He joined FC Balagne as a free agent, then moved to L’Aumône, before completing this latest switch to Jura Sud. Throughout this period his official market value on record dropped to zero during his time at Bobigny and has not been updated since, meaning there is no listed current market valuation attached to this move.
Primarily a right-back and right-footed, N’Gakoutou offers defensive versatility and experience in the French semi-professional and amateur structure. While there are no detailed appearance or performance statistics provided for his recent seasons, his continued recruitment by clubs in the competitive National 3 landscape indicates that he remains a valued squad option at this level.
With this transfer, N’Gakoutou continues his career in France rather than returning to play in Gabon, maintaining his presence in a familiar footballing environment while representing both his Gabonese and French background. The move to Jura Sud gives him another platform to re-establish his value, earn regular minutes, and potentially work his way back toward the higher reaches of the French football pyramid as he enters what should be the prime years of his career.
