Club career

Born in Bamako, Mallé began his senior career with AS Black Stars. In July 2015 he went on a trial at 1. FC Köln,[1] but nothing came of it.

Mallé agreed to a contract with Watford F.C. late in February 2016,[2] and officially joined the Hornets on 29 July.[3]

Immediately after joining Watford Mallé was loaned to Granada CF, being initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[4] He made his debut for the B-side on 4 September, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 home win against La Roda CF.[5]

Mallé scored his first goal in Spain on 1 October 2016, but in a 2–1 away loss against Real Murcia.[6] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 21 January 2017, starting in a 1–3 defeat at RCD Espanyol.[7]

On 2 June 2017, following Granada's relegation, Mallé signed a five-year contract with Udinese.[8] The following 6 January, after making no appearances for the club, he was loaned to Segunda División side Lorca FC until June.[9]

Mallé scored his first professional goal on 20 January 2018, netting the first after 18 seconds in a 3–2 home loss against SD Huesca.[10]

On 16 January 2019, Mallé joined to Grasshoppers on loan with an option to buy.[11] In September 2019, udinese agreed on a loan with Balikesirspor for one year.

On 19 September 2020, he signed a multi-year contract with Ascoli.[12] His contract with Ascoli was terminated by mutual consent on 27 January 2021.[13]

On 1 February 2021, he signed for Yeni Malatyaspor for two and half years.

International career

Mallé was included in Mali under-17 squad for the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup hosted in Chile.[14] He was elected the Bronze Ball of the tournament, after being an undisputed starter and scoring two goals and providing two assists.[15]

Mallé was also included in the 30-man list ahead of the 2016 African Nations Championship,[16] but was cut from the final squad.
