Groningen Bacuna is a
Groningen youth exponent. He made his
Eredivisie debut on 5 February 2015 against
Heracles Almelo replacing
Yoell van Nieff after 79 minutes in a 2–2 away draw. He came off the bench to help the Green-White Army win the

UEFA Europa League.
Huddersfield Town Bacuna signed for
Premier League team
Huddersfield Town on 20 June 2018, for an undisclosed fee for three years, with the club having the option for a further season. On 27 October 2018, Bacuna made his debut in the Premier League in a 3–0 away defeat to
Watford, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute. On 16 March 2019, he scored his first goal for Huddersfield in a 4–3 defeat at
West Ham. After relegation from the Premier League, Huddersfield started the 2019–20 season in the
EFL Championship badly, only amassing two points from their first nine games. Bacuna scored the only goal in the game in Huddersfield's first win of the season over
Stoke City on 1 October 2019. On 11 May 2021, Huddersfield exercised the option to extend Bacuna's contract until the end of the 2021–22 season.

Birmingham City Bacuna returned to English football when he joined Championship club
Birmingham City on 27 January 2022 on a three-and-a-half-year contract; the fee was undisclosed. He scored his first Birmingham goal in a 3–0 win at home to
Luton Town on 12 February, and finished the season with two goals and three assists from 17 appearances. At the start of the 2022–23 season new head coach
John Eustace impressed on Bacuna that there was no doubt as to his exceptional talent with the ball but he needed to combine that with hard work off the ball, particularly in a small squad "over-reliant on [him] to create goal scoring opportunities". By October he was filling in at
wing back, from which position he scored a goal-of-the-season candidate away to
Hull City. As the season went on, his concentration improved and Eustace suggested he was maturing as a player. He missed 3 Championship matches through suspension, and ended up with six assists from the remaining 43.
