Early life

Dally was born in Orléans, France, on 8 March 1996, and holds both French and Ivorian nationality.

Professional career

Dally came through the youth (Espoirs) system at Le Mans and received his first senior minutes with the club in 2014–15.

He had a first stint at JDA Dijon in 2016–17, then established himself in the French professional leagues, including a spell with Champagne Basket (2022–2024).

On 5 July 2024, Dijon announced that Dally was returning to the club for the 2024–25 season in Betclic Élite. After one season back with Dijon, he signed a two-year deal with Saint-Quentin Basket-Ball on 7 June 2025.

On 16 August 2025, he came off the bench to score a team-high 18 points and made the decisive put-back at the buzzer to beat Cape Verde 82–81 in the AfroBasket group phase.
