Early life

Toussaint began playing soccer at age four with AS Pointe-aux-Trembles.[1] Afterwards, he played for CS Rivière-des-Prairies, CS Panellinios, and CS Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.[2][3] In 2013, he moved to the Montreal Impact Academy, where he spent eight years until signing a professional contract in 2020.[4][5] In 2020, he played with the revived Montreal Impact U23.[6]

Club career

In November 2020, Toussaint signed his first professional contract with Canadian Premier League side York United, a two-year deal with multiple club options.[6]

In August 2022, Toussaint transferred to fellow CPL club Pacific FC mid-season on a permanent deal, in exchange for York receiving Matthew Baldisimo on loan.[14][15] He made his debut for Pacific against HFX Wanderers on August 20.[16] In November 2022, Pacific confirmed his return for the 2023 season.[17][18][19]
