==Career== Born and raised in the Ivory Coast, Bamba began his professional career at Norwegian second-tier side Kongsvinger where he was offered a contract in 2013 after a successful trial period. The 18-year-old Ivorian had a strong debut season, scoring four goals in 12 appearances. The following season he joined Kristiansund where he spent five seasons, and became a crowd favorite. In 2016, he scored 20 goals and helped Kristiansund achieve promotion to Eliteserien for the first time in the club's history.
Bamba scored consistently, and helped Kristiansund survive their debut season in the top flight. In the summer of 2018, he was signed by Brann for a transfer fee reported to be 8,000,000 NOK. His time at Brann was productive in terms of goals, but also marred by controversies. In 2019, he was suspended four games for elbowing Tromsø defender Simen Wangberg in the face.<ref>[https://www.brann.no/nyheter/blir-utestengt-i-fire-kamper Blir utestengt i fire kamper], Sportsklubben Brann (27 August 2019)</ref> Later that season he was suspended one game by his own club following a training-ground scuffle with teammate Veton Berisha.<ref>[https://www.bt.no/sport/i/wP5mqP/bamba-utestenges-fra-brann-troppen Bamba utestenges dager etter basketak med Berisha], ''Bergens Tidende'' (17 October 2019)</ref>
In the summer of 2021, Bamba left Norway after almost eight years, when he was signed by Turkish side Altay Izmir. He had a strong first season with the club, scoring seven goals in the Süper Lig, but left the club after only one seasons due to missing wage payments.
