Club career

Early career

Surot initially began his career in 2009 by signing with his hometown club SO Cholet.[1] He would make an appearance for the club during the 2012–13 season in the Championnat National 3.[2]

In 2011, he played abroad in the Canadian province of Quebec and transitioned into the college level by enrolling in the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and participating in the university soccer program.[3] Surot would receive the rookie of the year in his debut season.[4] In his return season with the Patriotes, he helped the team secure the provincial title which qualified for the national championship.[5][6] Surot would contribute two goals in the opening round of the tournament where the Patriotes would successfully defeat the Alberta Golden Bears.[7] After losing the semifinal match, the Patriotes defeated Laval Rouge et Or for the bronze medal where Surot recorded the winning goal.[8][9] He would also be named to the national championship all-star team.[10]

Canada

In the summer of 2013, he returned to the professional scene by playing in the interprovincial Canadian Soccer League with Kingston FC.[11] He would record his first goal for the club in the season opener on May 5, 2013, against Brampton City United.[12] Throughout the season, he assisted the club in producing a 6 game-undefeated streak at home.[13] Following their initial undefeated streak, Kingston produced another 11-match undefeated streak and would ultimately secure the First Division title.[14] Surot would finish the season as the league's leading scorer with 28 goals.[15] In the preliminary round of the postseason, Kingston would defeat the Serbian White Eagles.[16] In the semifinal round, he contributed two goals against London City which advanced the club to the championship final.[17][18] However, in the championship final match, the divisional champions were defeated by SC Waterloo Region.[19] Surot would receive further accolades for his productive season as he was also named the league's MVP and rookie of the year.[19]

After the conclusion of the season, he was invited for a trial with Ottawa Fury of the North American Soccer League.[20] Following his successful debut season, he re-signed with Kingston for the 2014 season.[21][22] His second season with Kingston was brief as he was traded to London City before the roster freeze on September 1, 2014.[23] London would primarily battle with Brampton United for the final playoff berth in the division with London ultimately failing to secure the final spot.[24] Surot would finish the 2014 campaign third in the scoring charts with 12 goals.[25]

France

Surot returned to his native France in 2015, to play at the local regional level with US Lesquin.[26] After a season with Lesquin, he moved on to play with Saint-Amand.[27] In 2017, he returned to the National 3 circuit to sign with US Tourcoing.[28] In his debut season with Tourcoing, he appeared in 9 matches and scored 1 goal.[2] After several seasons in the northern regions of France, he signed with Stade Montois for the 2018–17 season in the Championnat National 2.[29] In his debut season in the fourth tier, he played in 25 gamed and recorded 4 goals.[2] He re-signed with Stade Montois the following season, but midway through the season, he departed from the club.[30] In his second season with the club, he played in the 2019–20 Coupe de France against Trélissac.[2]
