Career

edit

Born in Abidjan, Loué started his career in homeland club Africa Sports, before joining Moroccan side Raja Casablanca. He had a spell in Algeria with MO Constantine in the second division. Then he returned to Morocco to play for Raja Casablanca. In January 2006, he joined French club RC Strasbourg, who were in Ligue 1 at the time, on a four-and-a-half-year deal.[1][2] After his winter transfer window arrival, Loué Gnoleba integrated quickly into the first team, but ultimately is considered a disappointing acquisition by Racing.[3]

Loué won the 2004 Botola with Raja Casablanca and would win the 2008–09 Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 championship with Espérance Sportive de Tunis.[4]
