Jeremy Bokila was born on 14 November 1988, in DR Congo, also known as Zaire. Currently aged 37, he primarily plays as a striker for Livingston Football Club, sporting the number 18 jersey. At 6 feet 1 inch tall (1.87m), and a weight of 12st 3lb (78kg), Bokila is a notable presence on the field.
Bokila's current market value estimates around £85,000 according to data from Transfermarkt.
Bokila's career took off when he joined AGOVV Apeldoorn in July 2007. Over the course of three robust seasons, Bokila made multiple first team appearances scoring a substantial amount of goals each season in league matches.
2010 marked his move to Zulte Waregem, Belgium. His two-year stint at Waregem included an impressive loan to Sparta Rotterdam in the Netherlands where he netted 14 goals in his 28 appearances during the 2011-2012 season.
Bokila's career took him overseas to Romania with Petrolul Ploieşti in 2012 on loan, and then to Russia's Premier League with Akhmat Grozny in 2013. The latter move reportedly cost around £1.3m. Over the course of his time in Russia, Bokila made enough first-team appearances to carve out a consistent place for himself on the team.
2015 saw another major pivot in Bokila's career as he was transferred for a second time for a rounded fee of £1.3m, this time taking him to the far east with Guangzhou City in China's League One. His following seasons included loan transfers to Eskişehirspor in Turkey and Al-Kharaitiyat in Qatar. By January 2017, he was once again in Turkey, this time with Akhisar Belediyespor.
Between 2017 and 2025, Bokila played in multiple clubs across the world. He had a loan spell at Romania's CFR Cluj, before returning to Akhisar Belediyespor, making his way to Hatayspor and Ankara Keçiörengücü in Turkey, moving to Thes Sport in Belgium, and later, to Oakland Roots in the USL of the USA. From there, he had a three-season run with Willem II in the Eerste Divisie in Netherlands.
Currently, in the 2025 - 2026 season, Bokila plays for Livingston in the Scottish Premiership. Thus far, he's made 15 appearances, scoring five goals in league matches and making an appearance in the League Cup.
