[4] At the end of the 2012–13 season, top-flight clubs Sochaux and Évian showed interest in signing him[5] and in July 2013, Benezet joined Evian.

In July 2019, following Guingamp's relegation from Ligue 1, Benezet joined Major League Soccer club Toronto FC on loan for the remainder of their season, with the club holding an option to make the transfer permanent at the conclusion of the loan, which would be triggered automatically if he started six regular season matches (he ultimately started five).

[7][8] Toronto chose not to acquire him permanently after the loan due to a lack of salary cap space after the re-signing of Michael Bradley.

Benezet finished the season with three assists among 13 appearances, including Colorado's first-round playoff loss at Minnesota United FC.

[13][14] Benezet made his Sounders debut on 15 August in a 6–2 victory against the Portland Timbers, entering the match as a substitute and scoring in stoppage time.
