Born in Pabu, Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany[2] Le Normand represented Stade Brestois 29 as a youth. On 21 September 2013 he made his senior debut, starting with the reserve team in a 0–1 Championnat de France amateur 2 away loss against Lannion FC.

Le Normand scored his first senior goal on 19 March 2016, netting his team's third in a 3–3 draw at AGL Fougères. On 15 April, he made his professional debut by starting in a 1–2 away loss against FC Sochaux-Montbéliard for the Ligue 2 championship.[3]

Real Sociedad[]

On 5 July 2016, Le Normand signed a two-year deal with Real Sociedad, being assigned to the B-team in Segunda División B.[4] He received a new contract in August 2018, for two more years.[5]

Le Normand made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 26 November 2018, starting in a 2–1 home win against RC Celta de Vigo.[6] The following 12 February, he renewed his contract with the Txuri-urdin until 2022,[7][8] and was definitely promoted to the main squad on 9 June.[9]

After the departure of Héctor Moreno, Le Normand became an integral part of the starting XI.[10] He scored his first La Liga goal on 30 November 2019, opening the scoring in a 4–1 home win against SD Eibar.[11] He was rewarded with a contract extension until 2024, on 4 June 2020.[12]
