Career
Evian
Dja Djédjé started his career with French side Evian and amassed over 100 appearances, scoring five times across four seasons.
Marseille
On 28 January 2014, Dja Djédjé signed a four-and-a-half year deal with Ligue 1 club Olympique de Marseille.
After sitting on the bench for some matches early in his Marseille career, Dja Djédjé quickly became a regular starter, displacing Rod Fanni as the club's first-choice right-back.
In the 2014-15 season, Dja Djédjé operated as a wing-back in several matches as manager Marcelo Bielsa looked for him to provide width and support for Marseille’s wide attacks.
On 20 January 2016, he scored his first and only goal for Marseille in the Coupe de France in a 2:0 home win against Montpellier.
Watford
On 21 July 2016, Dja Djédjé joined Premier League side Watford on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
International career
Dja Djédjé made his debut for Ivory Coast on 14 August 2013 in a 4:1 friendly defeat to Mexico.
He rejected the chance to appear at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, deciding to opt for the guaranteed starting place at Marseille in favour of a lesser role with the national team.
