He made his Southampton debut as a last-minute substitute against Ipswich Town on 1 March 2008 but did not touch the ball in the short time he was on the pitch. Baseya moved to Lille on a Bosman on 2 July 2008,[4] and was loaned out on 10 August 2009 to Le Havre AC.[5]
On 21 September 2011, Baseya signed a 12-month contract with Reading.[6] On 24 November 2011, he was loaned out on a short-term deal to League Two side Barnet,[7] making his debut on 25 November in a 2–1 home win against Macclesfield Town when he came on as a second-half substitute for Mark Marshall.[8] At the end of the season, 2 May 2012, Baseya was released by Reading.[9]
In November 2013 Baseya joined Bulgarian A PFG side PFC Lokomotiv Sofia on a two-year contract.[10] Baseya scored on his Lokomotiv debut, coming on as a 57th-minute substitute and scoring in the 69th minute, in a 2–1 defeat against Chernomorets Burgas.[11] Baseya made his first start for Lokomotiv in their next game, a 2–0 away win over Slavia Sofia in which he scored the first goal, in the second leg of the second round of the Bulgarian Cup.[12] Baseya played for Monza in 2015.
