Early career[]

Diony made his professional debut in November 2012 for FC Nantes, in a 0–0 draw against Niort.[1]

After spending six months in the fourth division with his hometown club Stade Montois, he joined Dijon FCO in January 2014.[2]

Saint-Étienne[]

In 2017 Diony made a move to AS Saint-Étienne, but he made a slow start with Les Verts, recording no goals and just one assist in his first 16 games for the club, causing him to be loaned out at the start of 2018.[3]

Bristol City (loan)[]

On 25 January 2018, Loïs Diony joined Bristol City on loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 with the option to make it permanent for a reported £10m.[4] Despite looking a promising addition, Diony's stint in England was unsuccessful, and he played just seven times, contributing to 0 goals in the process.[5]

Angers[]

On 10 September 2020, Diony signed with Ligue 1 side Angers SCO.[6] He joined on a free transfer, but the deal included a sell-on percentage fee clause. Diony agreed on a three-year contract with Angers.[7]

Red Star Belgrade (loan)[]

On 5 July 2021, he went to Red Star Belgrade on loan.[8]

Personal life[]

Diony is of Martiniquais descent.[9]
