Career

Pinson is a youth product of Le Havre, joining them at 12 and playing with their youth academy for six years.

Match fixing & betting scandal

On 23 October 2023, Pinson deliberately kicked the ball after a free-kick was given to the opposition to be booked in the 42 minute game against Sepsi Sf. Gheorghe after Drolé, another FC Botosani player that was a substitute for that game found out that Pinson was about to be substituted at half-time. A betting agency in Botosani reported that someone intended on betting 10.000 RON (approx. 2500 EUR) on Pinson being booked during the game.

Pinson and Drolé were consequently excluded from the first team.

Personal life

Born in France, Pinson is of Cameroonian descent.
