In 2015, as part of the Turkish Arkasspor, he won gold medals in the national championship , and a year later became the champion of Poland with the ZAKSA club, after which he extended the contract with him for another year.
Having played in various youth teams of France as part of the main team, Tiyyu made his debut in 2012, after the appointment of his father as head coach of the team.
