Toumani Diagouraga (born 9 June 1987) is a French central midfielder currently playing for Hereford United.

Having been spotted by a scout in Paris, Diagouraga signed for Watford's Academy. He signed professional terms in November 2004 aged 16, having reportedly been linked with Chelsea.

Retrieved on 7 July 2008.] He made his first team debut in a League Cup victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 20 September 2005. He went on to make his league debut against Burnley on 17 December 2005 before moving to Swindon Town on loan for the rest of the 2005-06 season.

During the January 2007 transfer window, Diagouraga was loaned to Rotherham United for the remainder of the season. On August 8, 2007 he was loaned out to Hereford United in League 2 until Christmas with a view to a longer deal. In his 7th game for Hereford he scored his first professional goal against Bradford City which they went on to win 4-2 and take Hereford 2nd in the league with 7 matches gone. His loan was subsequently extended until the end of the season, as part of the Lionel Ainsworth transfer, with Hereford being given first option on his services.

Toumani was a key member of the squad that gained promotion to League One, starting 50 out of a possible 55 matches. He joined the club permanently on 7 July 2008, signing a three year contract.
