Club career

Digne was promoted to the senior team permanently and given the number 3 shirt ahead of the 2011–12 season. In the Coupe de la Ligue's last 16 of the Coupe de la Ligue, he made his professional debut on October 26, 2011, defeating Sedan 6–1.
Digne extended his contract until 2016. On January 28, he made his Ligue 1 debut at the Stadium Nord Lille Metropole, defeating Saint-Étienne in the final two minutes. As the defending champions placed third in the league, he had a total of 16 appearances.
In the 2012–2013 season, Digne was a regular. On Sunday, he had given Lille the lead in a 3–1 victory at Ajaccio but when his cross was deflected in by Yoann Poulard, he was suspended after an hour for a foul on Matthieu Chalmé. He scored his first goal on 7 April, a penalty in a 5–0 home win over Lorient, and then two weeks later, he scored another to equalize in a 2–1 comeback victory at Bastia.
Digne signed a five-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain on a fee that is estimated to be around €15 million. With a 2–1 victory over Bordeaux in Gabon, they became an unreserved substitute as they lifted the 2013 Trophée des Champions. As manager Laurent Blanc revolved his squad ahead of the UEFA Champions League, he did not make his debut until September 13th in a 2–0 win over the same opponents. PSG finished the season with both the league and the league cup championships, but Digne was back-up to Brazilian veteran Maxwell.
In the 2014 Trophée des Champions, Digne played the full 90 minutes, winning 2–0 over Guingamp in Beijing. The Parisians gained all four domestic accolades from 2014–15, with Digne as the sole replacement in their Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue final victories.
Roma, the Italian Serie A club, signed Digne from PSG on a season-long loan contract for €2.5 million, with the option to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season. In a 2–1 win over title holders Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico, he made his debut five days later and played the entire match. He gave Roberto Pereyra a sarcastic kiss and asked him to check the scoreboard, a gesture likened to one by Roma captain Francesco Totti to Igor Tudor of the same rival in a 4–0 win in February 2004.
In a 5–1 home victory over Carpi on September 26, Digne scored his first goal for the Giallorossi with a close-range header, having earlier assisted Kostas Manolas in opening his account for the club.

In Serie A, the team from Italy's capital came third, and Digne confirmed that he wanted the move to be permanent.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored on his first appearance in a 3–1 EFL Cup victory over Rotherham United on August 29th. Digne got his first Premier League start for Everton against Huddersfield Town four days later, and he assisted Calvert-Lewin in a 1–1 draw.
Digne had been Everton's first-choice left back by the start of October, ahead of veteran Leighton Baines. In the sixth minute of stoppage time at a match against Watford, he scored his first goal for the club on December tensed in a free kick for a 2–2 draw. He scored twice in a 5–1 victory over Burnley, with a free kick and a 30-yard shot. He was sent home in a 1–0 victory over Huddersfield on January 29, 2019 for denying Adama Diakhaby a scoring opportunity with a foul. Digne's first season at Everton culminated in individual awards after he was named Player of the Season by supporters and Players' Player of the Season alongside midfielder Idrissa Gueye, the first time the award had been revealed.
Digne was suspended by Southampton in a 2–0 loss at Southampton on October 25, 2020, for a foul on Kyle Walker-Peters. Referee Kevin Friend referred to it as "serious foul play" which has been suspended for three games, but the ban was reduced to one match on appeal.
Digne told Everton boss Rafael Bentez in January 2022 that he no longer wanted to play for the team and wanted to leave. He had argued with the boss over tactics.
Aston Villa announced the signing of Digne from Everton for a £25 million contract until 2026 on January 13, 2022. In a 2–2 home draw with Manchester United, he made his debut two days later. In a 4–1 victory over Bolton Wanderers in the second round of the EFL Cup on August 23, Digne scored his first goal for the team.

Digne was one of 23 people in the French team for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, wearing the number 17 shirt. His one appearance for the eventual quarter-finalists was against Ecuador in which he sustained a foul that cost Ecuadorian captain Antonio Valencia a straight red card.
At UEFA Euro 2016, Digne was selected for the French team that finished runners-up on home soil, but he did not participate. At the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, he was on standby for the team.
