Jeremy Bokila, a forward primarily positioned as a striker for Livingston, was born on 14 November 1988 and hails from the Democratic Republic of Congo. His physical presence is notable, standing tall at 6ft 1in (1.87m) and carrying a weight of 12st 3lb (78kg). At 37 years old, Bokila sports the number 18 jersey. His current market value has been estimated at approximately £44k according to Transfermarkt.
Bokila started his professional career in July 2007 at AGOVV Apeldoorn in the Netherlands, where he demonstrated a growing potential across three seasons. In more than 90 appearances for the club, he netted 31 league goals. In 2010, Bokila made the move to Zulte Waregem in the Belgian Pro League, but his stint was less impactful, appearing only 20 times in the league and scoring a mere 2 goals.
Following an improved loan spell with Sparta Rotterdam in 2011 - 2012, where he scored 14 goals in 28 matches, Bokila moved on loan to Romania with Petrolul Ploieşti. His spell in Romania was brief before he made a move to Akhmat Grozny in the Russian Premier League in August 2013 for a value of around £1.3 million. His two-year stint in Russia saw Bokila make over 30 appearances and net four goals.
A subsequent move to China with Guangzhou City in July 2015 for around another £1.3 million marked a period of short-term transfers. Bokila made a quick loan move to Eskişehirspor in Turkey, following which he transferred to Al-Kharaitiyat in Qatar, also on loan. His additional movement in Turkey with Akhisar Belediyespor, a loan move to Romanian club CFR Cluj and return to Akhisar Belediyespor underscore his time of relative instability.
Bokila's time in Turkey ended in a brief stint with Hatayspor in September 2019 before a move to Ankara Keçiörengücü. His time in Turkey concluded with a move to Belgium's Thes Sport, before he journeyed to the United States to play for Oakland Roots. His return to Europe in July 2022 with Willem II in the Netherlands marked a more stable period with three seasons, 95 appearances, and 22 goals.
In July 2025, Bokila found a new home with Livingston in the Scottish Premiership. His current season contributions to Livingston include 18 league appearances and 5 league goals. Bokila's involvement in both the League Cup and Scottish Cup for Livingston marks another chapter in his extensive playing history.
