Karim Rekik (born 2 December 1994) is a Netherlands youth footballer of Tunisian[1] descent, who currently plays for Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven, on loan from Manchester City. He is left-footed. His father was born in Tunisia and his mother is a Dutch primary school assist teacher.

Career

Manchester City

Rekik signed for Manchester City from Feyenoord in the summer of 2011, and made his debut appearance for the first team in the Dublin Super Cup in pre-season.[2] He made his official first team debut for Manchester City on 21 September 2011 against Birmingham City in the third round of the League Cup, coming on as a substitute for Wayne Bridge in the last 12 minutes of the game.[3] He also made a late substitute appearance in the fourth round of this competition against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.[4]

Portsmouth (loan)

On 22 March, it was confirmed that Michael Appleton was to take Luca Scapuzzi and Rekik on a month's loan at Portsmouth.[5] He made his debut for Portsmouth on 27 March, in a 2–0 home win against Hull. This was also Rekik's first senior league appearance in club football.

Unlike Scapuzzi, Rekik became a regular starter as Portsmouth struggled to fight relegation. He was an ever-present figure in the Portsmouth defence as the league came to an end, nevertheless, Pompey were relegated at the end of the season.

Return to Manchester City

Rekik returned to Manchester City on 5 December 2012. He would go on to start in his Premier League debut, in a 1–0 win, at home to Reading on 22 December 2012.

Blackburn Rovers (loan)

On 15 February, it was confirmed that Rekik would join Blackburn Rovers until the end of the season.[6] The move reunites Rekik with former Portsmouth boss Michael Appleton.

PSV Eindhoven (loan)

On 8 July, it was confirmed that Rekik would join PSV Eindhoven on loan for the 2013-14 season, wearing number 3. [7]
