Career
Blackburn Rovers
Magloire signed a two-year professional deal with Blackburn Rovers in June 2017 after making 21 appearances for the Under-18s in 2015–16.[3] He had first joined the Academy at the age of nine.[4] He signed a new three-and-a-half-year deal in February 2019.[5] He helped Damien Johnson's development squad to secure the Premier League 2 Division 2 title in 2017–18.[6] He captained the Under-23s to victory over Burnley in the Lancashire Senior Cup the following season.[6] On 12 March 2019, Magloire started for Blackburn in the Championship and helped keep a clean sheet in a 3–0 victory over Wigan Athletic.[7]
On 8 August 2019, Magloire joined League One club Rochdale on loan for the 2019–20 season.[6] Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray said that Magloire was not yet ready for Championship football after struggling against Sheffield Wednesday when he had faced Steven Fletcher and Atdhe Nuhiu.[8] On 4 January, he was substituted 30 minutes into a 1–1 draw with Newcastle United in an FA Cup third round tie at Spotland after being unable to handle Ghana international winger Christian Atsu whilst playing at right-back.[9] The decision paid off for manager Brian Barry-Murphy, as Dale earned a lucrative replay by drawing the game.[10] On 29 January, he was recalled by Blackburn after sustaining a groin injury, which subsequently required surgery and saw him spend a lengthy spell on the sidelines.[11][12]
Magloire sustained a hamstring injury in late September 2020, ending his prospects of joining a Football League club on loan.[13] On 6 November 2020, Magloire signed for National League side Hartlepool United on loan until 9 January.[14] Hartlepool had suffered injuries to first-choice centre-back partners Gary Liddle and Timi Odusina.[15] He played 10 National League games for Hartlepool, not missing a match during his time at Victoria Park.[16] Pools manager Dave Challinor had hoped to re-sign Magloire on loan in January to further help with their promotion push, though Rovers needed him as cover following injuries to other centre-backs.[17] Rovers went on to loan him out to a different club.[18]
On 2 February 2021, Magloire joined Scottish Premiership side Motherwell on loan until the end of the 2020–21 season.[19][20] Well manager Graham Alexander said he would provide "competition for the right side of defence".[21] Magloire featured 12 times for the Steelmen, who were reportedly looking at bringing him back to Fir Park after his loan spell ended.[22] He said his time in Scottish football had "toughened me up and made me into a better player".[23] He featured five times for Rovers in the first half of the 2021–22 campaign.[24] The club took up a 12-month option on his contract in May 2022.[25] However, his first-team opportunities at Ewood Park were limited by the emergence of Hayden Carter and the success of other loan signings.[26]
Northampton Town
On 18 January 2022, Magloire joined League Two side Northampton Town on loan until the end of the 2021–22 season.[27][28] Manager Jon Brady said the Cobblers had beaten a League One club in the race to secure his signature.[29] His loan spell was ended early by a shoulder injury sustained in March.[30] On 28 July 2022, Magloire returned to Northampton Town for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract.[31][32][33] Brady said he had shown "huge potential".[34] He was ruled out for an entire season when he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in February 2023,[35] finally making his return to fitness in July 2024 after 17 months out of action.[36] He made six league starts in the 2024–25 campaign.[37] Magloire was one of 11 players that left Sixfields upon the expiry of their contracts in June 2025.[38]
In July 2025, he joined Bradford City on trial, participating in the club's training camp in Austria.[39] He also trained with the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) to maintain his fitness levels.[40]
Workington
On 8 November 2025, Magloire joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Workington on non-contract terms.[41] Manager Billy Barr had coached him at the Blackburn Rovers Academy.[42] Magloire was named man of the match on his debut, a 3–2 win over Hyde United at Borough Park, the first home game that Reds had won that season.[43] He departed the club on 26 January 2026, having been offered a chance to return to the Football League.[44] He had previously had a trial with a Scottish Championship club, believed to be Ayr United.[45]
Port Vale
Magloire began training with Port Vale, who were managed by former Northampton boss Jon Brady.[46] On 30 January 2026, he signed a short-term deal, with an option to extend.[47]
Style of play
Magloire is an extremely pacey defender.[48] He can play at centre-back or right-back.[49] His top speed was recorded at 10.6 metres per second, making him as fast as Kylian Mbappé.[50]
