Born in Annemasse, Yoda joined Servette FC's youth system in 2000, aged 11.[1] He made his senior debuts in 2006, and scored his first professional goal in the following year.

In June 2009 Yoda moved to fellow league team FC Sion.[2] He appeared regularly in his first two campaigns, but fell in the pecking order during his two last.

On 2 September 2013 Yoda moved to Romania, signing a three-year deal with FC Astra Giurgiu[3] He appeared in 21 matches during his only season, scoring twice.

On 14 July 2014 Yoda moved teams and countries again, by agreeing to a two-year deal with La Liga side Getafe CF.[4] He made his debut in the competition on 25 September, starting in a 0–2 away loss against RCD Espanyol.[5]

Yoda scored his first goals in the main category of Spanish football on 20 October, netting a brace in a 2–1 away win against Real Sociedad.[6] On 31 January 2017, he moved to Segunda División club UD Almería on loan until the end of the season, with Chuli moving in the opposite direction.[7]

On 22 November 2017, Yoda was loaned to CF Reus Deportiu in the second level, until the following June,[8] and signed a permanent two-year contract the following 31 July 2018.[9]
