Club career

Yohann began his career at his local club SC Clémenceau in Besançon. In 2002, he moved to the biggest club in the city, Besançon RC. He gained the attention of Rennes scouts during his time here and joined the Bretagne club's training center in 2006. He joined the club's under-18 side in 2007 and helped the club win the under-18 league championship. During the same season, he was selected to France's under-18 side. The following season, he was apart of the youth side that won the Coupe Gambardella.

At the start of the 2008–09 season, Yohann played mainly in the reserves. He received his first call up to the senior squad by manager Guy Lacombe on February 14, 2009 in a league match against Nancy appearing on the bench in a 1–1 draw.[1] After appearing on the bench several times for the rest of the season, he finally made his debut on the final match day of the season in a 0–4 defeat to Marseille appearing as a substitute in the 72nd minute.[2]

He joined second division club Sedan on loan for the entire 2009–10 season, in order to receive some playing time.[3] In his competitive debut with Sedan, he scored the club's second goal in their 2–0 win over Caen in the Coupe de la Ligue.[4]

On 23 July 2010, Lasimant signed a two-year contract with Ligue 2 club Grenoble.
