During the 2020-21 season, El Ouadghiri came into play on 19 April 2021 and played his first minutes as a professional with Maghreb de Fès against Chabab Mohammédia, coming into play in place of Karim El Oualadi in the 66th minute (draw, 1-1).[2] During that season, he only played one match and ended his year in seventh place in the Botola Pro rankings.

On 3 October 2021, El Ouadghiri was on the list of those called up for the Morocco U-23 team managed by Hicham Dmiai for a training camp at the Maâmora Sports Centre in Salé.[4]
On 22 March 2023, El Ouadghiri joined Morocco U-23 under new manager Issame Charaï for a friendly match against Ivory Coast in Rabat as part of the preparations for the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations which took place in Morocco in 2023.[5][6] During this match, he started but conceded three goals (defeat, 2-3).[7] Two days later, he appeared on the bench during a new friendly match against Togo, making no appearance (victory, 2-0).[8]
