Born in Bordeaux, Routis started his career at Swiss club Servette, playing for them between 2010 and 2014.[2]

Routis made his Servette debut on 7 November 2010, in a 3–1 Challenge League home victory against Yverdon Sport FC.[3] The following season, Routis scored his first goal for Servette in their first game back in the Swiss Super League, a 1–2 home defeat against FC Thun on 17 July 2011.[4]

On 8 August 2014, it was announced that Routis would sign for Bradford City on a one-year contract.[5] On 2 September 2014, he made his Bradford debut in the Football League Trophy in a 1–0 defeat against Oldham Athletic.[6] He made his league debut two weeks later against Milton Keynes Dons.[7] He made his home debut on 27 September in a 1–1 draw against Port Vale.[8] He scored his first goal for the club on 21 October 2014, scoring in a 2–2 draw against Bristol City.[9] He scored his second goal for the club in a 2–2 draw against Fleetwood Town on 21 March 2015.[10] During his initial season with the club he played in a number of positions, including in midfield.[11] He also adjusted to a language barrier.[12] He signed a new one-year deal with the club in May 2015 after they exercised an option in his contract.[13][14]
