Faye began his career at French Ligue 1 club AS Monaco, and then had spells with Frejus and AJ Auxerre, before transferring to Portsmouth for £1.5 million in August 2003.

He made his debut for Portsmouth in a 2-1 home win over Aston Villa F.C. and soon proved to be an excellant buy for the club. However, a knee injury picked up at the end of October threatened to rule him out for five months of the 2003/04 season. He returned in December, but after just three games suffered a relapse and was out until the end of January. Due to the injury, Faye was not selected by Senegal for the 2004 African Nations Cup but he made 31 appearances for Pompey in his debut campaign. Since recovering from injury he has reclaimed his place as a regular in the Senegal national football team.
