Abdelmalek Ziaya (born 23 January 1984 in Guelma) is an Algerian footballer who is currently playing for Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 2 club USM Annaba.

Career

ES Sétif

Ziaya plays regularly in ES Sétif's first team, and was a fixture in the club's 2006–07 Arab Champions League triumph, scoring a goal against Al-Ittihad in the second round[1] and against Al-Nasr in the group stage.[2] Ziaya scored again in the 2007–08 Arab Champions League versus Al-Wehda in the round of 16.[3]

On 26 December 2009, it was announced that the 25-year-old Algerian striker was going to move on loan from ES Sétif to FC Sochaux with an option to buy.[4] However, 4 days later, it was reported that ES Sétif president refused to loan the player to Sochaux and was negotiating with Saudi Arabian club Ittihad Jeddah.[5]

Ittihad Jeddah

On 6 January 2010, Ziaya signed a two-year contract with Saudi Arabian Ittihad Jeddah, with the club paying €2 million for the transfer.[6] He scored two goals in his first game for the club, a 4-1 win in a friendly against Al-Ettifaq.[7] On 23 February 2010, Ziaya made his official debut for Al-Ittihad in an AFC Champions League match against FC Bunyodkor in Uzbekistan, with the score ending 3-0 in favour of the home side.[8] He scored his first official goal for the club on 8 March 2010 in an AFC Champions League match Zob Ahan.[9] Ziaya scored the goal in the 16th minute of the game, with the game ending 2-2. In his first league game for Ittihad, on 14 March against Al-Ahli, he delivered an assist to Manaf Abushgeer for the only goal of the game. Despite achieving only 1 championship with the team in 2 years, he is considered to be one of Ittihad's greatest strikers recently and has expressed his urge to rejoin Saudi Arabia.[10]

Club Athlétique Bizertin

On 29 July 2012, Ziaya signed a two-year contract with Tunisian club CA Bizertin.[11] On 1 August 2012, he made his official debut for the club in a league game against ES Zarzis, scoring a goal on the occasion.[12]
