Darnell Eric Bile (born 28 October 2005) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Greek Super League club Panserraikos.
Born in Colombes, Darnell Eric Bile joined the Saint-ÃÂtienne academy in 2020 from Boulogne-Billancourt.
Having impressed in an under-21 tournament in the pre-season, Bile made his professional debut for Saint-ÃÂtienne on the 27 August 2022, coming on as a substitute for Jean-Philippe Krasso, in a 2âÂÂ2 away Ligue 2 draw against Valenciennes.
He also went on to play the following game, a 5-0 league win against Bastia, but after his trouble with the French Federation, he also was sidelined by his club for an undetermined period.
On 30 September 2024, Bile signed for Super League Greece club Asteras Tripolis.
Born in France, Bile holds French and Ivorian nationalities. He is a youth international for France, first receiving a call with the under-18 in September 2022 for the Tournoi de Limoges, with a 2005 generation that had just won the under-17 Euro.
He scored his first goal with France on 23 September against Scotland. However he made headlines for unfortunate reasons in the next encounter against Poland, as he was the fourth red-carded Frenchman in the second half, forcing the end of the game, and a win for the Polish side, that also won the tournament. Following the incident, Bile was suspended by the French Football Federation for 8 months.
