This Match-Issue football shirt from RC Lens is as new. Selection player Sidi Yaya Keita played from 2006 to 2011 for the club from Lens where the team played in Europe after winning the Coupe de France the year before. The shirt comes from a reliable network and will be issued with a certificate of authenticity from WeLoveFootballShirts.
Sidi Yaya Keita(born 20 March 1985) is a Malian former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
Born in Bamako, Keita moved to France at 18, signing for RC Strasbourg and spending his first year with the reserves, proceeding to be relatively used by the first team in the following two Ligue 1 seasons. He made his debut in the competition on 16 October 2004, playing 90 minutes in a 2–2 away draw against AC Ajaccio. While at Strasbourg Keita played as they won the 2005 Coupe de la Ligue Final.
Keita joined fellow league side RC Lens in the 2006–07 season, for €4.5m, as a replacement for Alou Diarra who joined Olympique Lyonnais. On 25 August 2007, he scored his first goal as a professional, in a 2–1 loss at former club Strasbourg, but the campaign eventually ended in relegation.
On 31 August 2009, Keita was loaned to Xerez CD in Spain, as the Andalusians were having their first La Liga experience. He made his first appearance on 27 September in a 0–0 away draw against RCD Espanyol, and quickly won the battle for first-choice holding midfielder over legendary club player Vicente Moreno, but they eventually dropped down a division.
After only eight league matches with Lens in 2010–11, with the club again being relegated, Keita was released by Les Sang et Or.
