Johaneko Louis-Jean (born 28 June 2004) is a French professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Spanish club Athletic Bilbao.
Club career On 2 January 2022, Louis-Jean made his professional debut for Bordeaux in a 3–0 Coupe de France loss to Brest. After a loan spell in Spain with CD Lugo, in August 2024 he signed for Athletic Bilbao in the wake of the cancellation of his contract as Bordeaux collapsed economically.
After two years with the reserve team, he trained with the senior squad ahead of the 2026–27 season and made his La Liga debut on 27 August 2026, starting at left-back in place of the suspended Yuri Berchiche against FC Barcelona at Camp Nou; the outcome was a 2–0 defeat, but Johaneko drew praise for his efforts against FIFA World Cup-winning winger Lamine Yamal despite receiving a yellow card for stopping his opponent and eventually having to be substituted due to exhaustion. He became only the third player born in France to play an official match for Athletic (after Bixente Lizarazu and Aymeric Laporte), and the first of Afro-Caribbean descent.
International career Louis-Jean has represented France at under-18 level.
Personal life Born in Bayonne, in the French Basque Country, Louis-Jean is of Haitian descent.https://www.tunota.com/deportes/quienes-son-los-padres-de-johaneko-louis-jean-su-origen-e-historia-2026-08-27
