Career

Ouaddou whiule playing for Qatar SC

He started his footballing career quite late, at the age of 21. On December 7, 2006 Ouaddou asked Olympiacos to release him free because he felt homesick and had some family problems. The club's directors agreed and Ouaddou will return to France [1].

On January 1, 2007, the opening day of the January transfer window, Ouaddou joined Valenciennes FC on a free transfer. After one season with the club however, he transferred to AS Nancy for a fee of £150,000. He was voted the club's best signing for the 2008/09 campaign.

On June 30, 2010, Abdeslam Ouaddou left AS Nancy after a dispute with the Ligue 1 outfit. The Moroccan veteran defender had a deal until 2012 but has left after the club decided to sack him for gross misconduct, while the player wanted to cancel his contract.

In 2010, he played for Lekhwiya in the Qatar Stars League, eventually winning the league championship.

It was announced on August 8, 2011, Qatar SC had signed him for a two-year deal. He commented on the move, stating "I'm more than pleased to have extended my stay in the Qatar Stars League and move to another big club".
