Timité began playing football at the age of 15 with ES Nanterre before moving to Ajaccio's youth academy.[1] He debuted with Ajaccio in a 0–0 Ligue 2 tie with Auxerre on 19 February 2016. Timité joined Amiens in 2016. Due to legal issues regarding his transfer, he could not play for Amiens in his first year and was loaned to USL Dunkerque for the 2017–18 season.[2]
On 31 August 2021, Timité moved to Spain and joined Segunda División side CF Fuenlabrada on a one-year deal.[3] The following 31 January, after just one start in seven matches overall, he terminated his contract.[4] On the same day, Timité signed with Valenciennes until the end of the season.[5]
Timité debuted for the Ivory Coast U23s in a pair of 2019 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations qualification matches in March 2019.[6][7]
