Club career

[edit]

Ciss received his footballing education at the Diambars academy in Senegal.[2]

Following his graduation, he joined Serigne Kara, a fellow graduate, at Tromsø prior to the 2010 season, signing a five-year contract.[2][3] He made his Tippeligaen debut as a substitute against Brann on 5 May 2010.[2]

In August 2013 he joined Ligue 1 side Valenciennes for €500,000.[citation needed]

In July 2017 he signed a three-year contract with Ligue 1 side Angers on a free transfer.[citation needed]

After six months on loan with Valenciennes in January to June 2018, he went there again on loan too in January 2019.[4]

International career

[edit]

Ciss represented Senegal at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[5] In May 2018, he was named in Senegal's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. On 17 June however, he injured[6] himself in training and was replaced in the squad by Adama Mbengue.[7]

He was part of Senegal's squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations; the Lions of Teranga went on to win the tournament for the first time in their history.[8][9]

Ciss was appointed a Grand Officer of the National Order of the Lion by President of Senegal Macky Sall following the nation's victory at the tournament.[10]
