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.

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]
