Early life

Nazon was born in Châtenay-Malabry, in the southern suburbs of Paris, to Haitian parents.[2] He acquired French nationality on 15 October 1996, through the collective effect of his mother's naturalization.[3]

Club career

After going through the youth system at Vannes, Nazon joined Lorient's reserve team in 2013. Later that year, he joined French fourth-tier side US Roye.

After brief stints at Olympique Saint-Quentin and Stade Lavallois, he joined Kerala Blasters in the Indian Super League in September 2016.[4]

Three months later, on 13 January 2017, he signed a six-month deal with English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers, becoming part of their under-23 team.[5] On 4 August 2017, he went out on loan to League Two side Coventry City until January 2018.[6] He made his English league debut for the club the following day as a substitute in a 3–0 win against Notts County.[7] On 8 August 2017 he scored his first goal in English football, scoring in the Sky Blues' 3–1 League Cup defeat to Blackburn.[8] He scored 8 goals in 24 appearances in all competitions in his six-month loan spell. The club later gained promotion to League One via the play-offs. Nazon was then loaned out to League One side Oldham Athletic until the end of the season. He scored six goals in 16 appearances for the club as they saw relegation to League Two.[9] On 14 June 2018, Nazon joined Belgian First Division A club Sint-Truiden on a three-year-deal for an undisclosed fee.[9] In January 2019, Nazon joined Scottish Premiership side St Mirren on loan until the end of the season. On 26 July 2021, Nazon joined Ligue 2 side Quevilly-Rouen on a free transfer.[10]
