Yannick Bolasie (born 24 May 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Cruzeiro.

[13] The club's manager, Ian Hendon, was keen to bring Bolasie back, but dismissed the chances of signing him permanently.

"[14] He rejoined the Barnet squad in July 2009 ahead of the new season on a six-month loan,[15] and hoped it would act as a springboard to winning a place in the Argyle first team.

[21] He was given a chance to impress by Paul Mariner, who had succeeded Sturrock a month earlier, and included him in the squad to take on Barnsley on 13 February 2010.

[22] He made his debut for the club in that game, coming off the substitute bench to provide the momentum to turn a one nil deficit into a 3–1 win for the visitors.

[31] Prior to the match against Barnsley later that month, Bolasie was named Young Player of the Year by the Supporters Club and Trust after a fans vote.

[59] In his 53 games for the club, Bolasie scored 19 goals, with him finishing third in the top scorer race in the 2022–23 TFF First League, which helped Rizespor back into the Süper Lig immediately after their relegation.

In January 2013 while playing in the Championship for Crystal Palace, Bolasie rejected the chance to represent the DR Congo in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations claiming that he did not want to disrupt making progress in his club career.

[66] In March 2013, Bolasie was again called up to the Democratic Republic of Congo squad,[67] and made his international debut[68] in a 2014 World Cup qualification 0–0 draw with Libya.

[71][66] Bolasie was born in the French city of Lyon,[72][73][74] but moved to England when he was seven months old and grew up in the London borough of Brent.

[76][77][75] His younger brother Ruddock Yala is a footballer, who played for Harrow Borough, Grays Athletic, Boreham Wood and Maldon & Tiptree.

In 2014, he filmed a rap battle with fellow professional footballer Bradley Wright-Phillips for the long running grime DVD series Lord of the Mics.
