Simultaneously, Anani featured for Marseille's reserves in the CFA 2. He was eventually promoted to the senior squad in 2012,<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.footmercato.net/ligue1/les-12-minots-sur-lesquels-l-om-mise-gros_86578 | title=Les 12 Minots sur lesquels l'OM mise gros | language=French | publisher=footmercato.net | date=15 June 2012 | accessdate=26 April 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.om.net/equipes/effectifs/joueurs/15216/anani-achille | title=ACHILLE ANANI | language=French | publisher=om.net | accessdate=26 April 2017}}</ref> being an unused substitute in official matches on several occasions.
In June 2014, after leaving Marseille, Anani was linked with Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg, but the deal never went through. He subsequently went on trial with Serbian top-flight club Radnički Niš in early 2015,<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.belami.rs/ubedljiva-pobeda-radnickog/ | title=Ubedljiva pobeda Radničkog | language=Serbian | publisher=belami.rs | date=8 February 2015 | accessdate=26 April 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.mozzartsport.com/vesti/bingo-hettrik-urickovica-pogodilo-i-pojacanje-iz-marselja-radnicki-zavio-zabjelo-u-crno-7-2/96624 | title=Bingo: Het-trik Đuričkovića, pogodilo i pojačanje iz Marselja, Radnički zavio Zabjelo u crno – 7:2! | language=Serbian | publisher=mozzartsport.com | date=8 February 2015 | accessdate=26 April 2017}}</ref> but failed to get a contract. In the summer of 2015, Anani signed with Serbian second-tier club Dinamo Vranje. He appeared in seven games and scored twice for the side, before leaving after just a few months.
In early 2017, after being without a club for more than a year, Anani returned to France and joined CFA 2 side Aubagne. In October he left Aubagne and signed for Marseille Endoume in the now renamed Championnat National 3.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.actufoot.com/national/attaquant-daubagne-signe-a-endoume-2/|title=UN ATTAQUANT D'AUBAGNE SIGNE À ENDOUME !|publisher=actufoot.fr|language=fr|date=27 October 2017|accessdate=15 November 2017}}</ref>
