Virgile Jacky Marcel Pinson (born 22 February 1996) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Armenian club Noah.
Pinson is a youth product of Le Havre, joining them at 12 and playing with their youth academy for six years. [2]
On 23 April 2018, Pinson joined Reims from Antalyaspor. [3] He made his professional debut with Reims in a 1–0 Ligue 1 loss to HSC Montpellier on 1 September 2018. [4]
Pinson joined Quevilly-Rouen at the end of September 2020, after being released by Reims. [5]
On 7 September 2021, Pinson agreed to a two-year deal at Lokomotiv Sofia. [6]
On 20 September 2022, Pinson agreed to a two-year deal at Botoșani. [7]
On 23 October 2023, Pinson deliberately kicked the ball after a free-kick was given to the opposition to be booked in the 42 minute game against Sepsi Sf. Gheorghe after Drolé, another FC Botosani player that was a substitute for that game found out that Pinson was about to be substituted at half-time. A betting agency in Botosani reported that someone intended on betting 10.000 RON (approx. 2500 EUR) on Pinson being booked during the game. [8]
Pinson and Drolé were consequently excluded from the first team.
On 29 February 2024, Armenian Premier League club Noah announced the signing of Pinson. [9] On 6 February 2025, Noah announced that they had extended their contract with Pinson until the summer of 2026, with an option for another year. [10]
