Yuba-Rayane Yesli (Arabic: يسلي ريان; born 12 October 1999) is a professional football player who plays as a goalkeeper for Atlético Ottawa in the Canadian Premier League.

Early life

[edit]

Born in Algeria, Yesli moved to Montreal, Canada, at the age of two.[1] Yesli played youth soccer with CS Dollard, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce SA, and Panellinios St Michel FC.[2] Afterwards, he was part of the Montreal Impact Academy.[3]

Club career

[edit]

In January 2018, Yesli joined U.S. Vibonese Calcio in the Italian Serie D,[4][5] where they won promotion to the Serie C.[6] He re-signed for the 2018–19 season.[7]

In 2019 and 2020, he played with CS Fabrose in the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, winning the 2019 Coupe PLSQ.[8][9] He decided to attend the Université de Montréal and play for the Carabins soccer team in 2020,[10] however the playing season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He was selected third overall by Valour FC of the Canadian Premier League in the 2021 CPL-U Sports Draft,[11] but did not ultimately sign with them for the 2021 season. However, he did serve as the league's emergency goalkeeper during the league's initial season which took place in a bubble, available to all team's on a short-term loan, in case of an injury to a team's goalkeepers as replacements were not available due to the bubble format, although he was not ultimately needed as a replacement.[12] Afterwards, he trained with Major League Soccer club CF Montréal.[13]

He then joined AS Blainville in the PLSQ for the 2021 season.[13] He made his Canadian Championship debut on 17 August 2021 against Canadian Premier League side HFX Wanderers FC in a 2–1 loss.[14]

In January 2022, he signed with Valour FC for the 2022 season.[15] He made his debut for the club on 11 May in a Canadian Championship match against MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps FC.[16] He made his league debut on 1 June in a 1–0 loss to Atlético Ottawa.[17] He earned his first victory and clean sheet on 3 August, in his second league start, in a 2–0 victory over Cavalry FC.[18] In January 2023, he went on a training sting with French Ligue 1 club AC Ajaccio, first joining the reserves, before joining the first team for training.[19][20] He was named the CPL Goalkeeper of the Month for June 2023.[21] At the end of the 2023 season, he was nominated for the CPL Golden Glove award, for the league's top goalkeeper.[22][23]

In February 2024, he moved to Atlético Ottawa in an intra-league transfer, with Noah Verhoeven moving to Valour on a one-year loan in exchange.[24][25] Yesli signed a one-year contract with an option for 2025 with Ottawa.[26] After serving as the starter for Valour the previous season, he became part of a tandem rotation with Nathan Ingham in Ottawa.[27] He made his first start for the club on April 27 against the HFX Wanderers.[28]
