Folly submitted a transfer request to the club on January 2008, citing concerns over his lack of first-team football. He joined Championship rivals Plymouth Argyle for a fee estimated to be around PS200,000 and joined manager Paul Sturrock for the 3rd time in his professional career. Folly was unable to make an impact on the club’s first team, despite being out for a prolonged time with a variety of injuries and illnesses.

Folly scored his first goal for Aberdeen on 26 December 2010 in a 2–1 win at Hibernian. However, just a week later, while up against Dundee United, Folly broke his ankle after a 65th minute tackle by Paul Dixon. Manager Craig Brown, later that day, confirmed Folly would not play again during the 2010–11 season. Near the end of the 2011–12 season, Folly was advised that his contract with Aberdeen would not be extended. On 25 August 2012, Folly had to retire from professional football after being diagnosed with chronic pulmonary embolism.

After a trial at Scottish Premier League side Aberdeen, he signed for the club on 26 July 2010. Folly became an instant hit with the local supporters playing a crucial part in the team’s midfield alongside fellow summer signing, Scottish Internationalist Paul Hartley.

Folly was a French under-21 player, but he later switched to Togo. Folly was part of Togo’s provisional team for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. However, he decided to continue his International Career in France. Folly made his international senior debut in August 2008 against DR Congo.

Paul Sturrock, then the Saints manager, had been impressed by Folly after he took over from Strachan in 2004. Folly made his debut at Hillsborough on 31 January, where he was defeated 2-0 by Luton Town.

Southampton was under 24 years old, and he received an undisclosed compensation payment. He was able to climb off Hillsborough’s substitutes bench in order to score an extra-time win in the League Cup second round against Hartlepool United.

He made a surprise return to the starting line-up in October 2009 against Middlesbrough, having only appeared once before that in 2009, producing a composed performance in a 1–0 victory for the Pilgrims in which he was the Man of the Match. Folly retained his place in the team for three of the club’s next four games, but soon fell out of favour under new manager Paul Mariner.
