Career[]
Exeter City[]
Diabate started his career at Stevenage before a move to Exeter City in 2018. He first appeared in a matchday squad during Exeter's 2–0 away EFL Trophy group-stage victory over Newport County in October 2019,[3] and then later that season enjoyed a brief loan spell with Buckland Athletic.[4] In a disrupted 2020–21 campaign, Diabate had loan spells at Bideford[5] and Tiverton Town[6] before making his Exeter debut in November 2020, featuring for the final twenty-eight minutes of their EFL Trophy tie with West Bromwich Albion U23s, which resulted in a 4–0 win for The Grecians.[7]
On 14 July 2021, Diabate joined Southern League Premier Division South side, Truro City[8] and went onto make his debut during a 1–1 draw with Walton Casuals a month later.[9] He then scored his first career goal in a 4–1 away victory over Poole Town in October[9] before eventually returning to Exeter two months later following an injury crisis at the Devon-based side.[10] He made his league debut for the club just a week later in a 2–1 defeat to Sutton United.[11]
Personal life[]
Diabete's cousin Mory Koné is a former professional footballer, having played for Troyes, Le Mans, and Parma.[12]
