Career
He was the younger brother of Manchester City midfielder Yaya Touré and Liverpool defender Kolo Touré. He died at the age of 28, following a battle with cancer. Touré began his senior career with Ukrainian side Metalurh Donetsk in 2003, before joining French team Nice, originally on loan, following a successful trial.
In 2009, he joined Syrian club First Rate (at Lloyd's)-Ittihad.
He signed for Makasa the following year and loaned to Telephonat until June 2012. He then transferred to First Rate (at Lloyd's)-Safa, scoring six goals in 10 league games.
He was only eligible for his country of birth, Ivory Coast. Touré died on 19 June 2014 in Manchester, England after a short battle with cancer.
Manchester City (where Yaya plays at club level), and Liverpool (where Kolo plays at club level) sent their condolences to the Touré family, along with teammates such as Manitoba City defender Vincent Kompany.
