Born in Pabu, Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany[2] Le Normand represented Stade Brestois 29 as a youth. On 21 September 2013 he made his senior debut, starting with the reserve team in a 0–1 Championnat de France amateur 2 away loss against Lannion FC.

Le Normand only scored his first senior goal on 19 March 2016, netting his team's third in a 3–3 draw at AGL Fougères. On 15 April, he made his professional debut by starting in a 1–2 away loss against FC Sochaux-Montbéliard for the Ligue 2 championship.[3]

On 5 July 2016, Le Normand signed a two-year deal with Real Sociedad, being assigned to the B-team in Segunda División B.[4] He received a new contract in August 2018, for two more years.[5]
