On 24 February 2017, he returned to the pitch after a 17-month injury lay-off, scoring a brace in a 30-minute, second-half substitute appearance in a Ligue 1 home match against Montpellier to help Nice come back from a 1–0 deficit to win 2–1.[3]

On 24 May 2019, Le Bihan scored his first goal in over two years after again being plagued by injuries.[4] [5]

Caen

On 1 September 2023, Le Bihan signed for Ligue 2 club Caen on a two-year contract.[6]
