Louis-Jean made just two appearances for Norwich at the start of his first season with the club (2005–06) before injury problems ruled him out of action for the remainder of the campaign. The Frenchman was near a return to the first team, but an injury playing for the reserve team saw his recovery set back yet again.

Norwich manager Peter Grant announced in February 2007 that Louis-Jean would be released at the end of the 2006–07 season.

Louis-Jean spent time as a scout for Nottingham Forest, before joining Marseille as head scout in April 2021. Then, in July 2023, he joined Lyon with the same job.[1]
