From December onward, he was subject to a special designation allowing him to be able to play both with Paris-Levallois, and with CFBB in National 1. In December 2015, Frédéric Fauthoux replaced Antoine Rigaudeau as coach, which allowed Poirier a greater chance to show his potential.

Over five games, he averaged 4.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 blocks in 11.5 minutes per game. On 11 September 2016, as part of the pre-season, he and his team won the Sarthe/Pays de la Loire trophy in a three-team tournament by beating Le Mans and Antwerp.
