About the player
Little is known of Joseph Layousse Samb before he arrived on Stade Lavallois's books, but the Senegalese defender has already had to fight his way back from one of the toughest setbacks a young player can face. Samb suffered a severe fracture that kept him sidelined for a lengthy spell, an injury serious enough to draw coverage from Pan Africa Football at the time.
At Laval, Samb wears the number 35 shirt. The club spent the 2023-2024 season in Ligue 2 before being relegated to National 1 for the 2025-2026 campaign.
Born in Senegal, he is tied to the Senegalese national set-up, though the precise nature and level of that involvement is not spelled out beyond his nationality. His path to Laval and any clubs he represented beforehand remain unclear, and so does his date of birth, leaving his career story, for now, centred on two things: the shirt he wears in Mayenne and the injury he has had to overcome.
