Career

He started his career with Chamois Niortais, where he made 46 league appearances in four years, including a number of games in Ligue 2.[2] He moved to FC Gueugnon in 2008 and played 20 league games for the side during the 2008–09 campaign. He was released by the club in the summer of 2009 and spent the following six months without a team before signing for Dagenham & Redbridge on 22 January 2010.[3] He made his Football League debut the next day, coming on as a substitute in the 1–2 defeat to Shrewsbury Town. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 win over Burton Albion on 17 April 2010.[4] Despite being signed as a full-back, the Dagenham manager John Still played him the centre of midfield. He played in the winning team in the League Two playoff final at Wembley on 30 May 2010.[5]

He has continued playing in the 2010–11 season, despite receiving a concussion in the match against Colchester United. By the conclusion of the 2010–11 season, Vincelot ended as top league scorer for Dagenham & Redbridge with 12 goals.

On 15 July 2011, he signed for newly promoted Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion. In the 2012–13 season, he joined League Two side Gillingham on a two-month loan deal. Vincelot made nine appearances and scored on his debut for the "Gills". On 31 January 2013, Vincelot left Brighton after his contract was terminated. A week later he signed a short-term contract at League One side Leyton Orient,[6] followed by a three-year contract at the end of the season.[7]

At Orient, Vincelot became a regular in the first team during the 2013–14 season, appearing in the League One play-off Final defeat to Rotherham United at Wembley. On 27 August 2014, he scored Orient's winner in the 1–0 League Cup victory over Premier League Aston Villa at Villa Park.[8]
