Professional
On March 18, 2007 the new expansion side Trois-Rivières Attak of the Canadian Soccer League announced the signing of Mayard.[1] On May 18 he made history by scoring the franchise's first goal, but unfortunately the match resulted in 2-1 defeat to the Serbian White Eagles.[2] Throughout the regular season he helped Attak to claim their first piece of silverware by claiming the Open Canada Cup, and finished runners-up in the National Division. During the club's playoff run Mayard scored the second goal in 3-0 victory over the Italia Shooters in the quarterfinals.[3] But their season came to an end when the White Eagles eliminated the Attak by a score of 2-1.
The following season[4] Mayard helped the Attak claim the club's first National Division title, and reached the final of the CSL Cup, where once again the Attak were defeated by White Eagles which ended in 2-2 draw and decided through penalties by a score of 2-1. On March 11, 2009 the Attak announced the re-signing of Mayard for the 2009 season and was appointed the team captain.[5]
On May 30, 2009, Mayard was loaned to Montreal Impact of the USL First Division, making his debut against the Rochester Rhinos.[6] In January 2010 left Trois-Rivières Attak of the Canadian Soccer League and joined to FC Chelsea Laval.[7]
