Bafodé signed up for Aris Limassol at the beginning of 2012/13 season. The contract did not state the agreement of adding another optional season to the one-year assignment.

Similarly to other cases occurred with Portuguese players in smaller competitions, Bafodé’s experience was not a bright one. “On a general level, my experience in Cyprus was negative. I got an injury on the second match and I were absent for another ten games. Financially, it was also bad, since the team has not paid my wages for the last five months”, Bafodé told to www.sjogadores.pt.
