A youth product of Le Mans, Sanson joined Ligue 1 club Evian in 2013.[2] He made his professional debut for Evian in 2015, in a 2–0 Ligue 2 defeat against Brest.[3]
After Evian were relegated to the fourth-division due to financial issues, Sanson joined Montpellier in July 2016 where he signed his first professional contract, reuniting with his brother Morgan.[4] He made his only Ligue 1 appearance for Montpellier on 20 May 2017, as a second-half substitute in the 2–0 defeat at Angers.[5]
Sanson was loaned by Montpellier to Championnat National side Quevilly-Rouen at the start of the 2019–20 season.[6] He was released by Montpellier at the end of the season, and after having a trial with Neuchâtel Xamax in Switzerland, he signed for the latest incarnation of football in Thonon-les-Bains, Thonon Evian.[7]
