Club career
Le Havre
Playing for Le Havre, Le Bihan scored 18 goals during the 2014–15 Ligue 2 season, thereby becoming the league's top scorer.[1]
Nice
On 2 September 2015, Le Bihan joined Ligue 1 team OGC Nice for a reported transfer fee of €1.5 million.[1] Just three weeks later, on 23 September 2015, he suffered a fractured tibia in a Ligue 1 match against Bordeaux. In January 2016, Nice announced that an operation would be necessary and that he would miss the rest of the season.[2]
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 0–1 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]
