Together with Pierre Chayriguès, Lucien Gamblin, and Paul Nicolas, he played a crucial role in helping the Red Star team win back-to-back Coupe de France titles in 1922 and 1923, starting in both finals as his side defeated Rennes and Sète, respectively. In the former final, he netted his side's second goal with a header in the 87th minute. On 12 February 1922, he started in the final of the 1922 Ligue de Paris against Olympique, scoring his side's third goal to seal a 3–0 victory with a "shot from 15 meters into the corner of the goal".Despite all his success at Red Star, Sentubéry left the club in 1923, and after a brief stint at Stade Rennais, he joined Club Français, with whom he played for nearly a decade, from 1924 until 1933. After leaving CF, he played one season each in Nice, Saint-Malo, and Stade de Reims, where he retired in 1936, aged 35.
