Club career

Lyon

Faure was born in the second arrondissement of Lyon and was with Lyon from when he was a child starting off in the club's academy until 2012.^{[citation needed]}

Faure became active in the squad at the start of the 2008–09 season. He was promoted to the first-team squad where he was given the number 36 shirt and began participating in Lyon's pre-season tour. Faure appeared in three of the team's five matches starting one against Rapid București and appearing as a substitute in matches against Monaco and Nîmes Olympique.^{[citation needed]}

He made his professional debut on 11 November 2008 against Metz in the 2008–09 edition of the Coupe de la Ligue starting in the centre back position alongside the Brazilian Cris. Unfortunately, the match resulted in a 3–1 loss with Faure playing the full 90 minutes and picking up a yellow card.[3] In December 2011, Faure suffered a broken toe. During January 2012, Faure was linked with a move to Nantes.[4] He joined Nantes on loan, but suffered pain from his previous broken toe injury and quickly returned to Lyon, where he remained until the end of his contract in the summer of 2012.[5]

After being released by Lyon at the end of his contract. Faure was linked with a move to fellow Ligue 1 club Evian.[6] Faure joined English club Leeds United on trial and played in their 2–0 win over Alfreton Town on 21 July.[7]

Rangers

Faure joined Rangers on a three-year deal pending international clearance on 21 August 2012.[8] After the move, Faure says he joined Rangers because Manager Ally McCoist persuaded him to join.[9] He made his debut against First Division side Falkirk in the Scottish League Cup on 30 August 2012. It was on 23 February 2013, when Faure scored his first ever senior goal. This came whilst playing Third Division side Berwick Rangers and it contributed to a 3–1 win away from home.[10]

Faure had his first run out of the season in the 8–1 win over Clyde in the Challenge Cup on 18 August 2014. His performance was praised for his pace and effectiveness in a right wing back role, despite his preferred position being that of a centre back. Faure left Rangers at the end of his contract in the summer of 2015.[11]

Later career

Faure joined French lower-league side Monts d'Or Azergues (renamed GOAL FC in 2020) in 2016, and became the club's captain.[12]
