In 2014, he joined the Paris Saint-Germain Academy. He made his senior debut with the team's reserve side in the 2015–16 Championnat de France Amateur.[1] After two years at Paris Saint-Germain, he moved to Reims' reserve team, where he spent one season.[2]
In 2017, he joined Les Herbiers. In the first season at the club, he only played with the reserves, and did not appear in the club's 2018 Coupe de France finalist campaign. After the club relegated to the Championnat National 2, he became a regular starter for the club during 3 seasons.[3] While the 2020–21 season was suspended due to Covid-19, he temporarily worked as a real estate agent.[2]
In July 2021, Louchet joined Niort and signed his first professional contract. At the club, he made his Ligue 2 debut.[4]
On 28 July 2023, Louchet signed for Ligue 2 fellow Valenciennes as a free agent. In his first season at the club, he played a crucial role in the team's Coupe de France semi-finals run, notably by his performance in the quarter-finals, where he stopped 2 shots in the penalty shootout against FC Rouen to qualify his team.[5][6]
