Career
Croizet made his senior debut for Ligue 2 side Metz in the 1–0 away win at Guingamp on 12 August 2011, playing 82 minutes before being substituted for fellow debutant Teddy Kayombo. Croizet subsequently returned to the reserve team, and made 10 appearances in the Championnat de France amateur during the first five months of the 2011–12 campaign. He scored seven goals in 57 matches for Metz from 2011 to 2013, when he moved to Belgian second division club RE Virton. He moved to first-division club OH Leuven in 2014, then joined Mechelen in 2016.
On 15 December 2017, Croizet signed as a designated player with American MLS side Sporting Kansas City. He scored his first goal for the club in a 6–0 thrashing of Vancouver Whitecaps FC on 20 April 2018 before netting a dramatic late winner with a stunning volley to win a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 match against FC Dallas 3–2 on 16 June 2018. Croizet netted his first MLS game-winner for the club in a 2–0 win over Minnesota United FC at Children's Mercy Park on 25 August 2018.
Sporting KC and Croizet mutually agreed to part ways on 23 September 2019.
In July 2024, following a successful loan spell the previous season, Croizet joined Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Zalaegerszeg on a permanent initial one-year deal with the option for a further season.{{cite web|url=https://www.ztefc.hu/hu/hirek/yohan-croizet-a-zte-fc-jatekosa|trans-title=YOHAN CROIZET IS BACK!|title=YOHAN CROIZET VISSZATÉRT!|language=Hungarian|website=www.ztefc.hu|date=17 July 2024|accessdate=17 July 2024}}
