Club career
Bourgeois started his career with FC Pierrevillers before moving to hometown club FC Metz at age 12. He graduated from the club's academy in 2007. Bourgeois signed his first professional contract with Metz on 21 May 2007 keeping him with the club until 2010.[1] He did not play the next season during Metz's run in Ligue 1, in which they were quickly relegated back to Ligue 2. Bourgeois finally made his debut on 19 December 2008 in a Ligue 2 match against Troyes coming on as a substitute in the 57th minute. With Metz trailing 3–0, Bourgeois provided some hope for Metz supporters as he scored his first professional goal on his debut in the 71st minute. Metz lost the match 3–1.[2]
In the summer of 2014, he joined the recently relegated side CA Bastia.[3]
