## Early life

Bogarde was born in Rotterdam on 5 January 2004.

## Club career
### Aston Villa

16 year-old Bogarde joined Aston Villa from Feyenoord's academy in September 2020. He was named in the Aston Villa starting line-up for his senior debut on 8 January 2021 in an FA Cup third-round tie against Liverpool. On 12 January 2021, after impressing in his debut, Bogarde was given his first professional contract at Aston Villa.
On 24 May 2021, Bogarde was part of the Aston Villa U18s team that won the FA Youth Cup, beating Liverpool U18s 2–1 in the final.
On 1 July 2022, Bogarde signed a new, long-term contract with Aston Villa. In the same summer, Bogarde was part of a first team squad for a pre-season tour of Australia.

#### Bristol Rovers (loans)

On 31 January 2023, Bogarde joined EFL League One club Bristol Rovers on loan for the remainder of the season. On 4 February, Bogarde made his English Football League debut as a late substitute in a 2–0 defeat to MK Dons. Following an initially difficult start to his time with the club for the team, Bogarde cemented his place in the team in a central midfield position, impressing manager Joey Barton whom had never watched him play prior to his transfer to the club.
On 18 August 2023, Bogarde returned to Bristol Rovers on a season-long loan deal. Having been linked with Championship club Southampton earlier in the transfer window, it was the League One club that were entrusted with continuing his development following a positive loan spell the previous season. Having found game time limited, especially since the replacement of Joey Barton as manager with Matt Taylor, there were rumours of Bogarde's loan being terminated in the January transfer window to facilitate a move to a Championship club. Lamare was recalled back to Aston Villa on 4 January 2024.

#### Return to Aston Villa

On 17 July 2024, Bogarde made an appearance for Aston Villa during a 3–0 friendly win against EFL League Two club Walsall. On 20 August 2024, Bogarde signed a new contract with Aston Villa and was moved into the first team squad.
On 31 August 2024, Bogarde made his Premier League debut, starting a 2–1 away victory over Leicester City. And was ultimately named in BBC Sport's Team of the Week. Bogarde started Villa's first Champions League in 41 years against Swiss club Young Boys in a 3–0 win. Over the first half of the 2024–25 season, Bogarde became somewhat of a utility player for Aston Villa, filling in at centre back, right back and his natural position of defensive midfield as injuries and other absences called for him to do so.

## International career

Lamare Bogarde has been capped at several youth levels for the Netherlands between 2019 and 2023.
He played at under-15, under-16, under-18 and under-20 levels.
Bogarde received a U21's call-up in March 2025 alongside his Villa teammate Ian Maatsen.

## Personal life

Born in the Netherlands, Bogarde is of Surinamese descent. He is the brother of Melayro Bogarde and the nephew of Winston Bogarde, both professional footballers.
