After spending time on loan with Albi Tussac signed a senior contract with Toulon in 2009 and continued to represent the club until 2012 when he signed for English club Yorkshire Carnegie.
He moved back to France in 2014 signing a two-year deal with Montauban.
In 2016 Castres confirmed the Tussac would be joining the club ahead of the 2016/17 season and has since become a regular in the starting line up.
Tussac has made over 14 appearances for Germany since debuting against Georgia in 2009.
In February 2018 Tussac was forced into retirement due to injury.
