Career

College and amateur

Diakhité emigrated to the United States from Senegal, where he attended an academy run by the former Senegal international Salif Diao, to advance his football career. He joined Montverde Academy, a preparatory school in Montverde, Florida, as a junior in 2011. In 2012, he spent a season with Orlando City U-23 of the USL Premier Development League. He played 15 regular-season games, and scored four goals in that time.

Professional

Diakhité bypassed college, and trialed with Orlando City of USL Pro in the 2013 preseason. He started several matches, including the home leg of a home-and-away friendly series with the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Diakhité was signed by Orlando City on 4 April 2013.[2] He saw his first competitive action on 14 May 2013, when he started in Orlando City's third round match in the 2013 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup against Ocala Stampede. He played his first league match on 9 June 2013, against Antigua Barracuda FC.

In July 2013, Diakhité went to Olhanense on trial from Orlando City. On 1 August, he was officially transferred to Olhanense for an undisclosed fee.

On 10 July 2019, Diakhité signed a two-year contract with Liga I side Sepsi OSK.[3] On 10 January 2020, he was released by Sepsi OSK.[4]

In January 2021, after trialling with Eintracht Braunschweig, Diakhité joined the 2. Bundesliga club on a contract until summer 2022.[5]
