Premier League club
Tottenham Hotspur on 7 August 2002, having rejected a move to
Manchester United earlier in the year. He made his Premier League debut on 31 August 2002 as a substitute in a 2–1 win against
Southampton at the age of 18 years and 150 days. Lacking first-team football and being relegated to the reserve team, Blondel considered to ask a loan move to Belgium. Royal Excelsior Mouscron enquired about a loan return deal, which was not agreed. Blondel made his second and last Premier League appearance in a 1–0 home loss against
Bolton Wanderers on 1 November 2003, again as a substitute and almost netting a late equaliser.
Club Brugge On 28 January 2004, Blondel returned to Belgium after agreeing to join
Club Brugge. He played a total of 266 games for The Blues, before announcing his retirement from professional football on 13 January 2015 after years of injury trouble. His last official match was on 8 August 2013, in the
2013–14 UEFA Europa League. During his career at Club Brugge, Blondel won the
2004–05 Belgian First Division, the 2003–04 and
2006–07 Belgian Cups and was part of the squad that won the
2014–15 Belgian Cup, although not playing in the latter and retiring before Club Brugge won the title. ==International career==
