Stevy Okitokandjo

Stevy Okitokandjo (born 18 June 1994) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Belgian club Crossing Schaerbeek.

Career Born in Haarlem, North Holland, to a family of Congolese descent, Okitokandjo played in his youth for Olympia Haarlem. At the age of 8, he was accepted into the academy of Ajax, but his family moved to Belgium, telling him at first that it was only on holiday; he was then not allowed to join high level youth academies due his parents' emphasis on education. When he was 17, his club Dender went bankrupt and he moved to Gent.

Okitokandjo did not make a top-flight appearance in Belgium for Gent or for Mechelen, and was loaned to Roeselare and Patro Eisden in the second tier. He trialled with Beerschot in 2016 but on the day that he was due to sign, he suffered a car crash, which he alleged to be due to sabotage by an envious neighbour.

On 30 June 2020, Okitokandjo moved up a league to Mafra. He scored 7 goals in 27 games in his first season, including a penalty on his debut on 13 September in a 4–0 opening win at Cova da Piedade and two on 20 December as they came back to draw 2–2 at home to U.D. Oliveirense.

Okitokandjo moved to Trofense, also in the Portuguese second tier, on 9 July 2022. He scored on his debut on 6 August, as the season began with a 3–2 home win over Belenenses SAD.
