Club career

In 2014, Louise was part of the Seychelles national under-17 team that competed in the Seychelles Division Two.[1] The following year he played with the national under-16 team in the Third Division and was given the team's Best Player Award following the season.[2]

By 2017, Louise had joined Northern Dynamo FC of the Seychelles Division One.[3] That season the club reached the final of the Seychelles League Cup with a victory over Anse Réunion FC in the semi-final. Louise featured in defense for the club in the victory.[4] Northern Dynamo FC went on to defeat Saint Louis Suns United FC in the final to win the tournament.[5]

In September 2019 Louise joined English club Mansfield Road FC of the Oxfordshire Senior Football League. In March 2020 he scored in a 2–0 victory over Cropredy FC in the final match before football in Britain was halted because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Before his departure in May 2021, he made sixteen league appearances for the club, scoring five goals, and an additional two appearances and three tallies in the Presidents Cup.[7]

For the 2021/22 season, Louise moved to Abingdon United F.C. of the Hellenic Football League Division One. During his first season with the club, he made twenty-one league appearances.[8] The following season, Abingdon United was in the race for promotion to the Premier Division with Louise in defense.[9] The 2022–23 Hellenic Football League#Division One following season, the club played a memorable season in which it placed seventh in the table. Following a victory over league champions Pershore Town on the final matchday, Abingdon manager John Mills accredited the team's season in large part to Louise and his defensive partner Dan Chalmers.[10]

International career

At the youth level, Louise represented the Seychelles at the 2016 COSAFA U-20 Cup.[11] He had earned a late red card in the team's opening defeat to Mauritius.[12] Following his one-match suspension, he returned to the starting lineup for a 0–5 defeat to Sudan to end the Seychelles' campaign.[13]

In March 2023 he was named to the senior national team for two friendlies away to Bangladesh. He was one of only two foreign-based players in the squad, along with Michael Mancienne.[14] Louise went on to make his debut in the opening 0–1 defeat on 25 March. He earned his second cap three days later as Seychelles won 1–0.[15][16] In the second match, Louise drew a penalty from Md Saad Uddin in the box which was then converted by Mancienne for the winning goal.[17]
