A strong centre-back, she joined Stade Briochin in 2010 who merged with En Avant de Guingamp in 2011. After four seasons under Guingamp, she moved to the current French champions Lyon on a four-year deal.[2] Mbock Bathy was born in Brittany to a family of Cameroonian descent.

With the French under-17 team, Mbock Bathy played in the 2012 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Azerbaijan. She was named FIFA's Player of the Tournament after France won a penalty shootout in the final over North Korea, marking the occasion with a memorable dance routine.[3]

At the 2013 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, Mbock Bathy was suspended for the final after being sent off in the semi-final. In the final France beat England 2–0 after extra time.[4]
