Club career[edit]

Youth career[edit]

Born in Brest, Coeff previously had stints with Plouzane Athletic, Stade Brestois 29, Guilers and Cavale Blanche Brest.

Lens[edit]

Coeff joined RC Lens' youth setup in 2008, aged 16. On 10 October 2008, he signed his first professional contract, agreeing to a three-year deal with Lens.[2] A rupture of both the medial collateral ligament and anterior cruciate ligament in one of his knees delayed his professional career and, after successfully undergoing rehabilitation, he spent two years playing on the club's reserve team in the Championnat de France amateur, the fourth division of French football.[3][4]

On 29 May 2011, Coeff made his professional debut, appearing as a substitute in a 0–4 away defeat to AS Nancy.[5] After being sparingly used during the 2011–12 campaign, he appeared regularly in 2012–13, playing in 37 league matches and scoring once.

Udinese[edit]

Brest[edit]

AEL[edit]

On 11 September 2018, Coeff moved to the Greek Superleague, joining AEL on a two-year deal.[10] On 3 November 2018, he scored his first goal for the club, opening the score in a 1–1 away draw against Levadiakos.[11]

Return to Gazélec Ajaccio[edit]

On 18 January 2019, he signed a two-year contract with Gazélec Ajaccio.[12]
