Jeremy Bokila, born on the 14th November 1988 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, plays primarily as a striker for Livingston. Standing at a sturdy 6ft 1in (1.87m), with a weight of 12st 3lb (78kg), Bokila is an imposing figure on the pitch. He wears the number 18 jersey. His current market value is around £90,000, a figure sourced from Transfermarkt.
In 2007, Bokila joined AGOVV Apeldoorn in the Netherlands, making an impact with 32 first team appearances and seven goals in his debut season. His time at the Dutch club saw his performance steadily improve, with a tally of 14 goals from 33 appearances in the subsequent season, and ten goals from 30 appearances in his final year.
Bokila moved to Zulte Waregem in Belgium’s Pro League in 2010. In his two seasons with the Belgian team, his playing time reduced significantly, making just 20 first team appearances with only two goals to his name.
From there, he was loaned to Sparta Rotterdam in the Netherlands' Eredivisie for the 2011-2012 season, where he rediscovered his scoring touch, netting 14 times in 28 appearances.
In 2012, still under Zulte Waregem, Bokila was loaned out again, this time to Petrolul Ploieşti in Romania. He then moved to Russian Premier League side Akhmat Grozny in August 2013 for a fee of around £1.3 million, where he made 36 first team appearances and scored four goals over two seasons.
In July 2015, he transferred to Guangzhou City in China, also for a fee of around £1.3 million. Again, his scoring rate was modest, with four goals in 13 first team appearances. Bokila’s stint in China saw him loaned to Turkish clubs Eskişehirspor and Al-Kharaitiyat, and later sold to Akhisar Belediyespor in January 2017.
During his time in Turkey, Bokila was briefly loaned out to CFR Cluj in Romania before returning to Akhisar Belediyespor where he saw some action, making 16 appearances and scoring four goals in the 2018-2019 season. He transferred to Hatayspor in September 2019, then Ankara Keçiörengücü in January 2020.
In October 2020, Bokila moved to Thes Sport in Belgium and then crossed the Atlantic to play for Oakland Roots in the US in January 2021. July 2022 saw Bokila return to the Netherlands, joining Willem II.
His three seasons at Willem II saw him make a considerable contribution, with 95 first team appearances and 22 goals. In July 2025, Bokila made his move to Scotland, joining Livingston. In the current season, he has made three first team appearances and scored once. He also made an appearance as a substitute in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Livingston.
