Cognard started playing football at the age of six, joining the academy of amateur side Saint-Brice.[3] He progressed through the academies of Entente SSG and Racing Club before making his senior debut for Saint-Denis.[3] He returned to Saint-Brice before spending a season with Poissy, though he made no appearances for the club in the Championnat de France Amateur 2.[3]
He spent two full seasons at Saint-Ouen-L'Aumône, before returning to Poissy in 2017.[3] After three seasons at the club, he joined Championnat National side Avranches in 2020.[4] He signed a one-year contract extension in June 2022.[4]
Cognard represented France at the 2017 Summer Universiade in Tapei, where he led France to the final before being beaten by Japan.[6] Cognard was highly regarded by French media for his performance at the tournament, saving two penalties in the quarter-final penalty shoot-out against Argentina, before scoring one himself.[7] He repeated this same feat in the semi-final against Uruguay, as France won 5–4 on penalties.[7]
