Teiva Dexter has been playing football competitively since a young age and has built a strong playing background in both France and Australia. Between the ages of 17 and 19, he played at a high competitive level in Pamiers, France, an important period of his development that gave him a strong foundation in competitive football and helped prepare him for senior-level football.

He continued his senior career in France, playing for Tarbes Football Club in Régional 1 during the 2013–2014 season, followed by Toulouse Fontaines FC in Régional 3 during the 2014–2015 season. These experiences allowed him to develop further within the French competitive football system and gain experience playing at different levels.

From 2015 to 2018, Teiva moved to Australia and joined North Perth United, where he competed in a semi-professional football environment. This period was an important part of his playing career, exposing him to a different football culture and providing valuable experience in a more demanding and competitive environment.

He returned to France for the 2018–2019 season, joining Orvault Football Club in Régional 1. Throughout his playing career, Teiva has developed a strong understanding of the game through experience across different competitive environments in France and Australia.

Today, Teiva brings this playing experience into his work as a football coach, using his background as a competitive and semi-professional player to help young athletes develop their technical abilities, football understanding, physical qualities and confidence on the field.
