Early life

Born in Cocody, Ivory Coast, Doukouré moved to France at early age. He acquired French nationality on 13 September 2004, through the collective effect of his mother's naturalization, and legally changed his first name from Cheick Kader to Cheick Yves.{{Cite web |title=JORF n° 0214 du 14 septembre 2004 - Légifrance |url=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/jo/2004/09/14/0214 |access-date=2023-12-11 |website=legifrance.gouv.fr |page=16100 |language=fr |format=PDF}}

Club career

=Lorient=

Doukouré joined FC Lorient's youth setup in 2007, from FCM Aubervilliers. After featuring regularly for the reserves, he made his first team – and Ligue 1 – debut on 7 August 2010, coming on as a second-half substitute for Yann Jouffre in a 2–2 away draw against AJ Auxerre.

After being rarely used, Doukouré was loaned to Championnat National side SAS Épinal for one year on 27 July 2012.{{cite web|url=http://www.mercato365.com/lorient-doukoure-prete-a-epinal-1880617.html|title=Lorient: Doukouré prêté à Epinal|trans-title=Lorient: Doukouré loaned to Epinal|publisher=Mercato 365|language=fr|date=27 July 2012|accessdate=15 August 2017|archive-date=16 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170816063622/http://www.mercato365.com/lorient-doukoure-prete-a-epinal-1880617.html|url-status=dead}} Upon returning, he started to feature more regularly, and scored his first goal for the club on 10 May 2014 in a 1–0 away success over Lyon.

=Metz=

On 20 June 2014, Doukouré joined fellow first division side FC Metz on a free transfer.{{cite web|url=http://www.mercato365.com/metz-c-doukoure-debarque-2031897.html|title=Metz: C.Doukouré débarque|trans-title=Metz: C.Doukouré arrives|publisher=Mercato 365|language=fr|date=20 June 2014|accessdate=15 August 2017|archive-date=2 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190902035628/https://www.mercato365.com/metz-c-doukoure-debarque-2031897.html|url-status=dead}} He made his debut for the club on 9 August, replacing Fadil Sido in a 0–0 draw at Lille OSC.

Doukouré appeared in 20 matches during the 2014–15 season, as his side suffered relegation. The following campaign, he appeared rarely as his side returned to the main category; in 2017, he also wore the captain armband in some matches.
