Devid Eugene Bouah (born 13 August 2001) is an Italian professional footballer of Ivorian descent who plays as a defender for club Catania.

Club career

He was raised in the youth teams of Roma. He played for Roma in the 2017–18 and 2018–19 editions of the UEFA Youth League. He was called to Roma's senior squad in February 2018 but remained on the bench. He made his debut for Roma on 20 July 2018 in a pre-season friendly against Avellino.[1] In November 2018, he suffered an ACL tear which forced him to miss most of the 2018–19 season. In the first game of the 2019–20 Campionato Primavera 1, he suffered an ACL tear again, making him miss the 2019–20 season.

On 2 October 2020, he joined Serie B club Cosenza on a season-long loan.[2] He made his Serie B debut for Cosenza on 17 October 2020 in a game against Cittadella. He substituted Angelo Corsi in the 69th minute.[3]

On 31 August 2021 he joined Teramo on loan.[4]

On 1 September 2022, Bouah signed a multi-year contract with Reggina.[5] After Reggina's exclusion from Serie B in August 2023, he joined Serie C club Catania on a free transfer.[6]

International career

He was first called up to represent Italy in October 2017 for the Under-17 Euro qualifiers.[7] He was not selected for the final tournament squad or the squad for the 2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship due to his injuries.

Personal life

Bouah was born to an Italian mother and an Ivorian father who separated a few years after his birth, leaving the mother to raise him. [8] He has a younger brother, Ethan (born 2005), who is a footballer too.[9]
