Career

He joined Montverde Academy, a preparatory school in Montverde, Florida, as a junior in 2011. In 2012, he spent a season with Orlando City U-23 of the USL Premier Development League. He played 15 regular-season games, and scored four goals in that time.

In July 2013, Diakhité went to Olhanense on trial from Orlando City. On 1 August, he was officially transferred to Olhanense for an undisclosed fee.
