In August 2009, Kerrouche signed with Associação Naval 1º de Maio.[5] On 11 September 2009, he made his debut for the club as a starter in a league game against Vitória.[6]

Swindon Town

In July 2011, Kerrouche signed a two-year contract with English Football League Two side Swindon Town, subject to international clearance.[7][8] On 10 September 2011, Kerrouche scored his first goal in a 2–0 victory over Southend United.

Loan at Oxford United

On 9 February 2012, after being unsettled at Swindon, he joined bitter local rivals Oxford United on a one-month loan.[10] Oxford United need cover over striker crisis after losing strikers like Jon-Paul Pittman, Alfie Potter and Tom Craddock.
