Feindouno left Bordeaux to join Saint-Étienne before the 2004–05 season. He missed Guinea's lost quarter final against the Ivory Coast in the 2008 African Nations due to suspension.
In summer 2007 he was linked with a move away from his club, with many sides from all over Europe interested in his services. Feindouno stated his desire to link up with close friend and former Lorient teammate Jean-Claude Darcheville at Scottish side Rangers in May 2007 or in the January transfer window of 2008.[4] On 12 October 2007, it was reported that Premiership club Liverpool's manager Rafael Benítez was to make a bid to sign him in the January transfer window.[5]
