Club career

Loris Mouyokolo is a youth product of the FC Lorient academy, having joined the Bretons aged only 7.[1]

Having played a few friendly games with the Merlus in the 2020 summer,[2] he signed his first professional contract with the club on 16 November 2020.[1]

Mouyokolo made his professional debut for Lorient on 16 December 2020 in a Ligue 1 game against PSG.[3] He came on as a substitute of Thomas Fontaine in at the 73rd, as Lorient had already seen their central defender Andrew Gravillon sent out, and were losing 2–0 at the Parc des Princes, the score not changing after Mouyokolo's entry.[4]
