Kerala Blasters FC have completed the signing of the 29-year old French defender Kevin Yoke on a short-term contract, which runs until the end of the 2025-26 Indian Super League (ISL) Season.

The Blasters squad overhaul is underway, with the announcement of their recruit coming shortly after the signing of former German U-18 Marlon Roos-Trujillo, making it their second back-to-back signing in consecutive days. The former PSG B winger now become the latest addition to the Blasters foreign roster.

“We welcome Kevin to our Indian shores. It will be a good chance for him to show us all what he is about. I would like to wish him the very best for the season ahead.“ – Abhik Chatterjee, CEO Kerala Blasters on the addition of Kevin Yoke.

“I am very happy to join Kerala Blasters and can’t wait to meet the squad and get started. I am ready to give everything to meet the challenge that awaits us.” – said Kevin Yoke on joining the Blasters.

Kevin has scored 7 goals and provided 13 assists throughout his career

Kevin Yoke is a 29-year-old left winger from France who could operate from both the flanks and effectively spearhead the Blasters’ attacks. With over half a decade of experience in professional football, Kevin has made a total of 84 appearances so far, with a large share of them coming from Greece’s second division. Over the course of his career, the Frenchman has scored seven goals and delivered thirteen assists.

Kevin developed his football at ES Trapples, where he played during his U21 days. Later, in 2018, he moved to the B team of Paris Saint-Germain, where he appeared in 22 instances, scoring four goals for his side. Two years later, he was signed by Le Mans FC, where he had a short stint. He then shifted his base from France to Greece, where he played for the rest of his career.

He was introduced in Greek Football by Apollon Larisas. However, he was unable to register an appearance and moved to AO Trikala before making his breakthrough move at Eolikis Mytilinis, where he played most matches as a professional footballer. Kevin netted in three goals and provided ten assists in a span of ten months.

In December 2025, he joined PAE Chania, a club playing in the Super League 2. A month later, the striker has now joined Kerala Blasters FC, where he will bolster their attacks with his quick moves and physical dominance.

What does Kevin Yoke’s signing bring to the table?

Kevin, having played most of his career in the European second tier, brings in his experience playing in a competitive environment. Primarily operating as a left winger, Kevin is equally capable on the right flank, offering versatility across the Blasters’ front line.

With a strong physical presence and acceleration, Kevin has displayed an immense workload in his previous clubs, making him a potent threat to the opponent defenders. With the ability to play with both feet, he could adapt positionally and stretch the opponent’s backline to create goal-scoring opportunities in the Tuskers setup.

Kevin will have a huge responsibility in yellow as his main objective will be to mitigate the absence of Noah Sadoui on the left wing. With a sharp focus on pace and creativity in the final third, Yoke’s addition is expected to augment the team’s offensive patterns and offer Head Coach David Català additional options in wide attacking rotations. With traits similar to the former Blaster Kwame Peprah, if Kevin could perform well in the Indian environment, he could turn out to be the guiding light for the Blasters amidst uncertainity.
