Career
Yesli played youth soccer with CS Dollard, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce SA, and Panellinios St Michel FC.[1] Afterwards, he was part of the Montreal Impact Academy. In January 2018, he joined U.S. Vibonese Calcio in the Italian Serie D,[2][3] where they won promotion to the Serie C.[4] He re-signed for the 2018-19 season.[5]
In 2019 and 2020, he played with CS Fabrose in the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, winning the 2019 Coupe PLSQ.[6][7] He decided to attend the Université de Montréal and play for the Carabins soccer team in 2020,[8] however the playing season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He was selected third overall by Valour FC of the Canadian Premier League in the 2021 CPL-U Sports Draft,[9] but did not ultimately sign with them for the 2021 season. However, he did serve as the league's emergency goalkeeper during the league's initial season which took place in a bubble, available to all team's on a short-term loan, in case of an injury to a team's goalkeepers as replacements were not available due to the bubble format, although he was not ultimately needed as a replacement.[10] Afterwards, he trained with Major League Soccer club CF Montréal.[11]
He then joined AS Blainville in the PLSQ for the 2021 season.[11] He made his Canadian Championship debut on August 17, 2021 against Canadian Premier League side HFX Wanderers FC in a 2-1 loss.[12]
In January 2022, he signed with Valour FC for the 2022 season.[13] He made his debut for the club on May 11 in a Canadian Championship match against MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps FC.[14] He made his league debut on June 1 in a 1-0 loss to Atlético Ottawa.[15] He earned his first victory and clean sheet on August 3, in his second league start, in a 2-0 victory over Cavalry FC.[16] In January 2023, he joined French Ligue 1 club AC Ajaccio for a training stint, first joining the reserves, before joining the first team for training.[17][18]
