In July 2009, he was signed by U.S. Lecce in co-ownership deal.[1] He had an impressive start, scoring four goals in a Coppa Italia match against Vico Equense[2] and some decisive last-minute goals in the league, but spent most of the season on the bench.

On 30 August 2012, Baclet was swapped for Alex Pinardi of Novara.[6] Both players were tagged for €1 million as well as signing a three-year contract, thus made both clubs had a paper profit of €733,334[7] and €812,076 respectively.[8]

On 3 August 2013, he was signed by Casertana,[9] as well as on 1 September 2014 left for Pro Patria.[10][11]

In the 2015–16 season he played for Martina Franca.

In June 2016 he signed for Cosenza, becoming a crucial player in the 2017–18 season with five goals in the play-off rounds, which saw Cosenza reach promotion to Serie B for the first time in 15 years.

In January 2019 he moved to Reggina. On 5 August 2019, he was loaned to Virtus Francavilla.[12]

After having played two seasons at the Serie C level with Potenza, on 19 October 2022 Baclet moved down to amateur football by joining Lamezia Terme-based Eccellenza club Promosport.[13]
