Blanchard made his senior debut in Championnat National the following season and went on to appear in another 25 league matches for Laval over the next two years.[3][4] He spent the 2008–09 campaign with L'Entente SSG, where he scored his first league goal, and the next with Moulins – making 35 league appearances in both.[3][4][3]
He moved to England in the summer of 2010, signing for Football League One club Tranmere Rovers.[5][6] He made his debut in a 0–0 draw against Huddersfield Town and went on to make 24 appearances during the 2010–11 season. He left Tranmere at the end of the campaign after not being offered a new contract.[7][8] Blanchard signed a short-term contract with Plymouth Argyle in November after spending time with the club on trial.[9][10] He made his debut in a 4–1 win against Northampton Town,[11] and extended his contract in January 2012 until the end of the season after making seven appearances.[12][13] Blanchard scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw with Crawley Town.[14]
Blanchard signed a new two-year contract in May,[15][16] and won the club's Player of the Year award for the 2011–12 season.[17][18] He made 28 league appearances, in which he scored two goals and, according to The Herald, had a "formidable partnership" with Darren Purse.[16]
