Born in Agen, Aquitaine, Laporte started playing football with Aviron Bayonnais FC in the French Basque Country, joining Athletic Bilbao's youth system in 2010 and going on to play for both its farm and reserve teams. On 28 November 2012 he made his debut with the main squad, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 away win against Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona F.C. for the season's UEFA Europa League.[2]

Laporte made his first La Liga appearance on 9 December 2012, appearing one minute in a 1–0 home win over Celta de Vigo.[3] The following week he was inserted in the starting XI by manager Marcelo Bielsa, helping the Lions to the same result at RCD Mallorca,[4] and was definitely promoted to the first-team shortly after, signing a new contract until 2015;[5] on 14 January 2013 he was given the number 4 jersey, previously worn by Ustaritz.[6]

Laporte represented France at under-17, under-18 and under-19 levels.
