Chris Vianney Ryan Bilé Bedia (born 5 March 1996) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL Championship club Hull City, on loan from Union Berlin. He represented the Ivory Coast under-20s in the 2015 Toulon Tournament.

Club career

Tours

Bedia started his career at the age of 18 with Tours FC in Ligue 2. Despite scoring a brace against Brest, he was unable to establish himself and thus transferred to Sporting Charleroi.

Sporting Charleroi

After his move to Belgium, Bedia had a strong first season but was subsequently rarely utilized. As a result, he was initially loaned to S.V. Zulte Waregem. However, in 17 games, he failed to score a single goal and returned to Charleroi. Despite being used more frequently after a change in coaching staff, the club loaned him to ES Troyes AC on 14 August 2019. Even there, the purchase option was not exercised, and Bedia returned once again to Charleroi.

He was loaned out again, this time to Sochaux. Having played a strong season there, Montpellier HSC expressed interest in signing the striker.

Servette

On 24 January 2022, Bedia signed with Servette in the Swiss Super League.

Union Berlin

On 18 January 2024, Bedia moved to Union Berlin in Germany.

Hull City

On 22 August 2024, Bedia joined EFL Championship club Hull City on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy. Two days later, on 24 August 2024, he came off the bench to make his debut, a 0–0 home draw with Millwall. On 28 September 2024, he scored a penalty in the 4–1 home win against Cardiff City.
