Career
Born in Paris, Thimothée began playing football in the youth system at CO Savigny. He signed his first professional contract with Stade Malherbe Caen, where he suffered a knee injury which limited his availability with the senior side. He made his Ligue 1 debut and scored his first league goal with Caen.[2]
After his contact with Caen expired, Thimothée signed for Ligue 2 side Red Star F.C. where he played from 1992 to 1995. Next, he returned to Ligue 1 with AS Saint-Étienne. Thimothée followed this with an injury-plagued spell at Montpellier HSC before finishing his professional career playing in China.[2]
