Early life

In February 2022, he signed with Ukrainian Premier League club Rukh Lviv. [13] However, he was unable to appear for the club as the season was cancelled due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which forced him to flee the country, soon after signing. [14]

In December 2022, he signed a one-year contract for the 2023 season with a club option for a further year with Canadian Premier League club York United. [15] He made his debut in the season opener on April 16 against Valour FC. [16]

On 28 June 2023, Faye joined Dutch side Telstar in the Eerste Divisie on a permanent deal, having left York United due to personal issues within his family. [17] He departed the club in December 2023, having spent only six months there, having only made six appearances, with his final game being on 15 September. [18]

On 18 January 2024, Faye signed with Liepāja in Latvia. [19]

In February 2018, he stated it would be a dream of his to represent Senegal internationally. [24] He has also been approached by the Cape Verdean Football Federation about representing the Cape Verde national team. [25] In 2017, he was approached by the Senegalese Football Federation to represent the Senegal U20 team at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup, but he was forced to decline the invitation, as his club team chose to not release him.
