Following the campaign, Courgnaud was courted by several clubs in higher division, most notably Championnat National clubs Créteil and Orléans. However, in June 2010, it was announced by the media that Courgnaud had signed with second division club Dijon, alongside Sanaa Altama.{{cite web | url = http://creteillusitanos.skyrock.com/4.html | publisher = Creteillusitanos's blog | title = Courgnaud (Romorantin) objet de convoitises |language = French |date = 18 June 2010 | accessdate = 9 January 2011}}{{cite web | url = http://www.footransferts.com/index.php/2010/06/altama-et-courgnaud-signent-a-dijon/ | publisher = Foot Transferts | title = Altama et Courgnaud signent à Dijon | language = French | date = 27 June 2010 | accessdate = 9 January 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110107101655/http://www.footransferts.com/index.php/2010/06/altama-et-courgnaud-signent-a-dijon/ | archive-date = 7 January 2011 | url-status = dead }} Courgnaud began his career with Dijon playing on the club's reserve team. On 20 November 2010, a day before his 20th birthday, he made his professional debut in a Coupe de France match against amateur club Hayange. Courgnaud started the match and scored the fourth goal in an 8–0 victory.{{cite web | url = http://new.lfp.fr/autresCompetitions/coupeFrance/feuille_match/73778 | publisher = Ligue de Football Professionnel | title = Hayange v.
