Playing Style and Assessment
His title-winning spell at Wydad and having played in two different foreign leagues give him a tactical maturity above the Botola Pro average. He shows an experienced profile both in defensive positioning and attacking contribution down the right; a decline in recovery speed can be expected over time given his age.
Strengths

- International league experience — Having played in Iran and Bahrain shows an ability to adapt to different tactical cultures.
- Well-rounded right-flank contribution — He offers an experienced profile in both defensive and attacking terms as a right-back.
Areas for Development
- Age — At 32, there is a question mark over physical sustainability in a high-tempo overlap-recovery cycle.
- Still settling in at Raja — Having joined in January 2026, his tactical integration at the club is still relatively new.
Level Within Botola Pro
Verdict: An experienced first-choice right-back at Botola Pro level; his continental cup pedigree makes him a reliable reference in big matches.
