Bayiha signed with the Ottawa Fury on July 24, 2018, and was immediately loaned to the Montreal Impact on a short-term deal lasting a few days.[2] He made his professional debut with the Fury a month later on August 22 against Bethlehem Steel.[3] After the 2018 season, the Fury would announce that Bayiha would not return to the squad for the 2019 season.[4]

On November 16, 2018, Bayiha signed a homegrown contract with the Montreal Impact (later renamed CF Montréal).[5] Bayiha would have his option for the 2020 season exercised by the Impact, keeping him with the club for 2020.[6] After the 2021 season, CF Montreal would announce that they would not exercise the option on Bayiha's contract, ending his time with the club after three seasons.[7]

In January 2022 Bayiha joined HamKam of Norway.[8] At the end of the season, he departed the club.[9]

In January 2023 Canadian Premier League side York United announced they had signed Bayiha to a deal.[10]
