Arthur Bertrand Gnahoua (born 18 September 1992) is a French footballer who plays as a winger or centre-forward

He has previously played in the Football League for Bolton Wanderers, Shrewsbury Town, Carlisle United, Macclesfield Town, Morecambe and Grimsby Town, as well as at non-League level for Stalybridge Celtic, Colwyn Bay, Kidderminster Harriers and AFC Fylde. He also spent a season playing in Spain with CF Gavà.

Club career

[edit]

Gnahoua was born in Grenoble,[4] France[5] and is of Ivorian descent.[6] He moved to England when he was six and grew up in Salford.[5] He was coached and taught how to play football by his brother.[7] In 2003 he was released from the Bolton Wanderers Academy.[5]

He began his senior career in non-league football, joining Macclesfield Town from Stalybridge Celtic in 2012.[8] On 16 January 2015 he signed for CF Gavà[9] and then moved on to Kidderminster Harriers in January 2016,[10] and was their top goal scorer in the 2016–17 season as they reached the National League North play-off semi-finals.[6]

He joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on a free transfer in May 2017, signing a one-year deal with an option for a further year,[6] making his Football League debut on 5 August 2017 as a substitute in a 1−0 victory over Northampton Town.[11] Gnahoua scored his first professional goal in a 3−2 victory over Coventry City in an EFL Trophy group-stage match on 29 August,[12] followed by his first Football League goal - netting a 94th-minute winner in a 2−1 away win at Doncaster Rovers - on 26 September.[13]

His contract with Shrewsbury was extended at the end of the 2017–18 season.[14] He went on loan to Fylde on 26 November 2018.[15]

He signed for Carlisle on 21 January 2019[16] but missed the rest of the season after getting injured only 27 minutes into his debut.[17] He was released at the end of the season.[18]

Gnahoua re-joined Macclesfield Town in August 2019 on a one-year contract.[19]

Gnahoua re-signed for Bolton Wanderers on 26 September 2020, 17 years after being released from Bolton's Academy.[5] He said he signed for Bolton as it was close to his home, which became an internet meme,[20] with Bolton fans creating the chant "Arthur Gnahoua, he lives down the road!"[21] They also gave him the nickname King Arthur.[22] He made his debut the same day he signed, coming off the bench to replace Nathan Delfouneso in the 65th minute of a 0−2 Home defeat against Newport County.[23] His first goal came on 17 November as he scored Bolton's second goal in a 3–2 win against Newcastle United U21 in the EFL Trophy[24] with his first league goal coming on 13 January 2021 in a 1–1 draw against Exeter City.[25] On 19 May 2021 Bolton announced he would be released at the end of his contract.[26]

On 17 June 2021 newly promoted Morecambe announced they had signed him.[27] Gnahoua signed a new one-year contract with the club in June 2022.[28]

On 5 August 2023, Gnahoua signed for Grimsby Town on a one-year deal following a successful trial with the club. The move reunited him with his former Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Hurst.[4] Gnahoua made his debut later that day as he came on as a 77th minute substitute for Charles Vernam in a 0–0 draw at home to AFC Wimbledon on the opening day of the 2023–24 season.[29] He was released at the end of the 2023–24 season.[30]
