Born in Mayenne, Mayenne, Salin spent six of his first seven seasons as a senior in Ligue 2, in representation of Stade Lavallois, FC Lorient, FC Libourne and Tours FC. In 2007–08 he was part of the second club's Ligue 1 squad, but failed to make any competitive appearances.
In the 2010 off-season, Salin moved to Portugal where he would remain the following six years, signing with Associação Naval 1º de Maio who was coached by compatriot Victor Zvunka.[2] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 14 August, in a 1–0 away loss against FC Porto.[3]
After his team's relegation, Salin went on to appear for fellow league sides C.S. Marítimo (two spells) and Rio Ave FC.[4][5] He played ten games for the former in the 2012–13 edition of the UEFA Europa League, which ended in group-stage elimination.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
In the summer of 2016, Salin returned to his homeland and joined En Avant Guingamp on a one-year contract.[12] His maiden appearance in the French top division occurred on 21 September at the age of 32, in a 1–0 home win over FC Lorient.[13]
On 29 July 2017, Salin agreed to a two-year deal at Sporting CP, replacing the departed Beto as backup to Rui Patrício.[14] He began his second season as first choice, but following injury against Portimonense S.C. in October 2018 he was surpassed by loanee Renan Ribeiro.[15][16]
Salin went back to his country's top flight in June 2019, signing for Stade Rennais F.C. for two years.[17]
