After three seasons, he joined [[Lille OSC]] in the summer of 2009, signing amateur terms to play with the B side still in Championnat de France Amateur, but with the hope that he could progress to the first team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archives-lepost.huffingtonpost.fr/article/2009/09/05/1682950_interview-ladislas-douniama-l-europe-c-est-exitant.html|title=Interview : Ladislas Douniama : "L'Europe, c'est exitant !"|publisher=Le Huffington Post|language=fr|date=5 September 2009|accessdate=16 November 2017|archive-date=17 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171117001258/http://archives-lepost.huffingtonpost.fr/article/2009/09/05/1682950_interview-ladislas-douniama-l-europe-c-est-exitant.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The professional contract did not materialise at Lille, but on 10 June 2010, he signed a two-year professional deal with [[Championnat National]] club [[En Avant de Guingamp]].<ref>[http://www.eaguingamp.com/v2_finale.php?rub=article&nb=1755 Ladislas Douniama signe à En Avant] {{in lang|fr}} {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100612145213/http://www.eaguingamp.com/v2_finale.php?rub=article&nb=1755|date=12 June 2010}}</ref>

Douniama made his professional debut for Guingamp as a second-half substitute on 6 August 2010, in a 1–0 victory over [[FC Rouen]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.foot-national.com/match-foot-guingamp-rouen-20729.html|title=Guingamp - Rouen le match en direct|publisher=foot-national.com|language=fr|date=6 August 2010|accessdate=16 November 2017}}</ref> His first professional goal came two months later, on 2 October 2010, when he scored the opener in the 2–1 away win at [[FC Gueugnon]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.foot-national.com/match-foot-gueugnon-guingamp-20957.html|title=Gueugnon - Guingamp le match en direct|publisher=foot-national.com|language=fr|date=2 October 2010|accessdate=16 November 2017}}</ref> Guingamp won promotion to [[Ligue 2]] at the end of Douniama's first season at the club, and while in [[Ligue 2]], he was soon spotted by a number of [[Ligue 1]] clubs.<ref name=duchere /> On 27 January 2012, he joined [[FC Lorient]] of Ligue 1, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lorient.maville.com/sport/detail_-FC-Lorient-Ladislas-Douniama-a-signe_11521-2091192_actu.Htm|title=FC Lorient : Ladislas Douniama a signé|publisher=maville.com|language=fr|date=27 January 2012|accessdate=16 November 2017}}</ref>

Having made only six league appearances in his first season with Lorient, lack of playing time saw Douniama join [[AC Arles-Avignon]] in Ligue 2 on loan for the 2012–13 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/fr/news/33/transferts/2012/07/30/3275566/transferts-douniama-%C3%A0-arles-avignon|title=TRANSFERTS - DOUNIAMA À ARLES-AVIGNON|publisher=goal.com|language=fr|date=30 July 2012|accessdate=16 November 2017}}</ref> The loan was terminated early in January 2013, as Douniama signed a two-and-a-half-year contract to return to Guingamp,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.foot-national.com/foot-guingamp-ladislas-douniama-nouvelle-recrue-41382.html|title=Guingamp : Ladislas Douniama nouvelle recrue|publisher=foot-national.com|language=fr|date=1 January 2013|accessdate=16 November 2017}}</ref> where he contributed to the club's promotion to Ligue 1.

During his two years in the top division with Guingamp, Douniama experienced winning the [[2014 Coupe de France Final]] (as an unused substitute) and playing in the [[2014–15 UEFA Europa League]].<ref name=duchere /> At the end of his contract in the summer of 2015, he left Guingamp, and on 10 September 2015, he signed a two-year contract with [[RC Strasbourg]] in Championnat National. The club was champion of the division at the end of the [[2015–16 Championnat National|2015–16 season]], but Douniama was not in the plans of the coach the following season, and on 22 September 2016, it was reported that he had joined [[Saudi Arabia]]n side [[Al Khaleej Club|Al Khaleej]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rcstrasbourgalsace.fr/actualites/douniama-en-arabie-saoudite|title=DOUNIAMA EN ARABIE SAOUDITE|publisher=RC Strasbourg Alsace official site|language=fr|date=22 September 2016|accessdate=16 November 2017}}</ref>

By January 2017, Douniama was back in France, where he signed a contract until the end of the season with Championnat National side [[AS Lyon-Duchère]].
