Club career

Michel joined Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz in 2013 from Lille OSC B. In 2014, the club promoted to the Belgian Pro League. He made his top division debut at 27 July 2014 against R.S.C. Anderlecht in a 3–1 away defeat.[2]

On 31 January 2019 it was announced, that Michel, Mario Tičinović and Djordje Jovanovic had been promoted to reserve team due to a lack of commitment. The club was in a very bad position, which with 7 matches to go was very close to relegation.[3]

In 2021, Michel played for French club Roub Hommelet.[4] In the 2022-23 season, he played for US Tourcoing.[5][6]

In the summer 2023, Michel signed for Belgian club KVK Westhoek.[7] In the summer of 2024, it emerged that Michel had decided to hang up his boots.[8]
