Club career

Born in Sebkha,[2] Thiam represented ASAC Concorde as a youth. On 2 September 2019, he moved abroad and joined Cádiz CF on loan for one year, and was initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[3]

On 25 January 2021, Thiam's loan with Cádiz was cut short,[4] and he signed for fellow third division side SCR Peña Deportiva on 11 February.[5] He left the latter club in March, without debuting, after his parent club registered him back on the squad.[6]

On 30 January 2022, Thiam signed a two-year contract with CD Lugo, being initially assigned to the farm team.[7]

International career

In October 2020, Thiam was called up by Mauritania national team manager Corentin Martins for two friendly matches against Sierra Leone and Senegal.[8] He made his full international debut on 9 October, coming on as a second-half substitute for Almike N'Diaye and providing the assist for Hemeya Tanjy's winning goal in a 2–1 victory over the former.[9]
