Born in Pabu, Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany[3] Le Normand represented Brest as a youth player. On 21 September 2013 he made his senior debut, starting with the reserve team in a 1–0 CFA 2 away loss against Lannion.

Real Sociedad

On 5 July 2016, Le Normand signed a two-year deal with Real Sociedad, being assigned to the B-team in Segunda División B.[5] He received a new contract in August 2018, for two more years.[6]

After the departure of Héctor Moreno, Le Normand became an integral part of the starting XI.[11] He scored his first La Liga goal on 30 November 2019, opening the scoring in a 4–1 home win against Eibar.[12] He was rewarded with a contract extension until 2024 on 4 June 2020.[13]
