Christopher Jean-Louis Dilo (born 5 January 1994) is a professional footballer who plays for Championnat National 2 club Toulon as a goalkeeper. Born in metropolitan France, he plays for the Guadeloupe national team.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Growing up in Paris, Dilo started his youth professional career at the academy of Paris Saint-Germain, the team he supported as a boy.[3]

Blackburn Rovers and loan

[edit | edit source]

However, the club released Dilo at age sixteen and he joined Blackburn Rovers despite interests from other French clubs. He later explained going to England; "Blackburn were in the Premier League at the time I signed and although I had some French clubs interested in me when I left PSG I wanted to try the UK."[3] During the 2012–13 season, he played on loan for Hyde to gain first team experience.[4] He made an impressive debut defeat losing 3–2 to Ebbsfleet United on 10 November 2012.[5] After two months at Hyde, it was announced on 30 January 2013 that his loan spell had come to an end.[6] He was released by Blackburn at the end of the 2012–13 season.[7]

St Mirren

[edit | edit source]

Dilo signed a one-year contract with Scottish Premiership club St Mirren in July 2013.[8] Upon joining St Mirren, he soon became homesick, which was later settled down by Ludovic Roy.[3] He became the club's number one goalkeeper in September 2013 after David Cornell was dropped.[9] He kept his first clean sheet against Hearts at Tynecastle, a game which St Mirren won 2–0. He fell out of the first team, after making a handful of appearances, when the club signed the experienced Slovakian goalkeeper Marián Kello. After an injury to Kello, Dillo was given another opportunity and he retained his place for the last eight matches of the season keeping three clean sheets.[10] Dilo was released by St Mirren in June 2014, after he failed to respond to the club's offer of a new contract.[11]

Rennes

[edit | edit source]

After leaving Scotland, Dilo was without a club for a number of months. On 27 September 2014, it was confirmed that has had signed a one-year contract with Stade Rennais.
