Standing at 1.82m, Bony joined Dutch club Vitesse in Jan. 2011, where he was the top scorer in the Eredivisie in 2012–13, leading to a £12 million transfer to Premier League club Swansea City.
Bony scored 35 goals in 70 appearances for the Swans and in January 2015, joined Manchester City in a £28 million deal.

Bony returned to Swansea on 31 August 2017 but was released by the Swans in May 2019.
