Mohamed Guerioua: Algerian forward joins USM El Harrach on free transfer from USM Annaba

Algerian centre-forward Mohamed Guerioua has joined USM El Harrach on a free transfer from USM Annaba. The 25-year-old moves across the Algerian game ahead of the 2026-27 campaign after his contract with Annaba came to an end.

Guerioua, born on 30 May 2001, arrives at El Harrach to strengthen their attacking options through the middle. Naturally deployed as a central striker, he is expected to operate in his preferred role at the head of the attack rather than in wider positions.

The move marks the latest step in Guerioua’s senior career, with the forward leaving USM Annaba to remain in domestic competition. His switch was completed on 16 July 2026, giving him the opportunity to integrate into his new squad during pre-season and stake a claim for a regular starting place.

USM El Harrach have opted not to disclose the length of Guerioua’s contract, but the transfer confirms he will be part of their plans for the forthcoming season after making the switch as a free agent.
