Espaly bolster defence with Mali-France full-back Tiecoro Keita

Tiecoro Keita has joined Espaly, bringing the Mali-France left-back to the club from GOAL FC on a free transfer.

The 32-year-old switches clubs within France after leaving GOAL FC, who compete in National 1 – Group C. Keita will now play for Espaly in National 2 – Group G, making the move a change of division as well as a new chapter in his career.

Keita’s arrival gives Espaly an experienced option at left-back as they prepare for life in the fourth tier of French football. His move was completed on 17 August 2026, with no transfer fee involved.

The defender’s previous club, GOAL FC, is based in France, while Keita holds Malian and French nationality. He joins Espaly as a specialist in the left-back position, adding defensive cover to the squad.
