Yoan Benyahya (born 26 May 1987) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defender for Championnat National 2 club Granville.
Benyahya began his career with Nîmes in 2006 but made only one senior appearance in three years for the club, coming on as a late substitute for Pierre Germann in the 1–0 win over Villemomble on 8 December 2007.[1] In the summer of 2009, he joined Istres and made his Ligue 2 debut in the 0–4 defeat away at Tours on 23 January 2010, replacing Brahim El Bahri after 75 minutes.[2]
After being released by Istres in 2010, Benyahya spent a year without a club before signing with Championnat National outfit Gazélec Ajaccio ahead of the 2011–12 season. On 8 October 2011, he scored his first goal in senior football, netting the winner in the 2–1 victory against Vannes at the Stade Ange Casanova.[3] He played a total of 17 matches during the campaign as Gazélec won promotion to Ligue 2 for the first time in their history.
On 2 October 2012, Benyahya signed for Championnat National side Uzès Pont du Gard, and was a regular pick for the remainder of the 2012–13 season, making 17 appearances. He was released in January 2014.
On 1 February 2016, Benyahya signed for Granville.[4]
