After a two-year stint at Central Coast which saw Bule score a goal in the 2022 OFC Champions League in a group stage match against ABM Galaxy, Bule was signed by Real Kakamora in 2024,https://www.siff.com.sb/a-new-look-real-kakamora-team-in-the-tsl-2024-season/ and was quickly appointed team captain for his leadership and experience on a team mostly composed of young players. That season, Kakamora, who were unable to obtain a single point in the prior season, rose to worldwide prominence through the success of their unique Instagram account, putting Bule in the spotlight as he helped lead the side to an unprecedented third-place finish, the best in club history.
