Club career edit

Bourdouxhe progressed through the youth system of Dutch club PSV, but never made an appearance for the first team. He was loaned out to second-tier Eerste Divisie club FC Eindhoven in 2012, who then signed him on a permanent deal a year later.[2][3] On 10 August 2012, he made his professional debut against MVV Maastricht, where he also scored his first goal.[4]

After his two-year contract expired, Bourdouxhe joined VVV-Venlo on a free, where he signed at two-year deal with an option for an extra year.[5] He failed to establish himself as a starter in Venlo, and he left for Helmond Sport after only one season. There, Bourdouxhe signed a two-year contract.[6] After two seasons in Helmond, he moved to FC Emmen,[7] where he made no first-team appearances and only managed to appear for the reserve team.[8]

On 16 April 2019, Bourdouxhe signed a two-year contract with TOP Oss.[9] Upon signing, he stated that "TOP Oss has grown considerably in recent years and the club has been doing well for the last two seasons [...] In addition, I have a good feeling after talking to the manager. We have the same view on football. It is also nice to be able to be closer to my family in Eindhoven again".[8] He made his debut for the club on 9 August 2019, starting at left back against Jong Ajax, a match which TOP managed to win 2–1.[10] Bourdouxhe was, however, mostly used as a backup on the position behind Niels Fleuren,[11] and finished his first season in Oss with six total appearances.[4] Close to the transfer deadline of 2020, he left TOP Oss and decided to return to FC Eindhoven.[12]

On 11 August 2021, Bourdouxhe returned to Belgium for the first time in his senior career and signed a contract for one-year (with an additional year option) with Mouscron.[13] In June 2022, he signed for Rupel Boom. At the age of 31, he became the oldest player in the team's squad.[14]

After one season, he moved to Belgian Division 3 club Turnhout.[15]
