Biography
Born in Grosseto, Tuscany, Blanchard started his career at his hometown club Sauro Rispescia (of Rispescia frazione). On 30 August 2005 he was signed by Serie A team Siena, which is also a Tuscan team. He played for its Berretti team (B team of under-20 age group or U-18 team). In the next season he left for Poggibonsi, but in January 2007 left for Serie D team Sangimignano; the team was relegated to Eccellenza Tuscany at the end of season. Blanchard was promoted to the Primavera under-20 team of Siena in 2007–08 season.
In 2008, he left for Valle del Giovenco, his first team outside Tuscany, where he spent 1½ seasons. At the end of the 2010 winter (January) transfer window, he left for Pergocrema, with Fabrizio Di Bella moving in the opposite direction in a temporary deal. He played both legs of the relegation "play-out".
In July 2010 he left for Pavia. He was a call-up to Siena's pre-season camp in 2011. He played a few friendlies before he left the club on 20 July.
On 9 August 2012 he left for Frosinone. On 19 June 2013 Frosinone bought Blanchard's registration rights definitively for a peppercorn fee of €1,000.
On 23 September 2015, Blanchard made Frosinone club history by scoring the equalizing goal in the closing minute of stoppage time in a 1–1 draw against Serie A giants, Juventus. This was Frosinone's first historical Serie A point. Blanchard also revealed it was "an emotional moment" especially since he declared to have been a Juventus fan for a long time.
