Abdellah Bendouma: JS Kabylie complete signing of Algerian left-back from Paradou AC

Abdellah Bendouma has completed a permanent move from Paradou AC to JS Kabylie, with the Algerian left-back officially joining the Ligue 1 side on 2026-07-03. The deal is registered as a standard transfer, with the fee undisclosed, while his current market value is listed at 275k. Contract details, including the end date of his agreement with JS Kabylie, have not been made public, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent when that deal expires.

The 24-year-old defender, who stands at 1.80m and is left-footed, arrives at one of Algerias most historic clubs after four years in the first team at Paradou AC. According to the transfer record, his switch from Paradou to JS Kabylie is a confirmed move within the Algerian Ligue 1, with no indication of a loan arrangement or buy-back clause in the available data.

Born on 07 Oct 2001 and holding Algerian nationality, Bendouma has developed entirely within the domestic game. He progressed from USM Bel Abbes youth ranks to their senior side before earning a move to Paradou AC on 2022-07-12. That step up coincided with a significant rise in his valuation: from 100,000 EUR at USM Bel Abbes in mid2021 to 275,000 EUR shortly after joining Paradou.

Bendoumas market value peaked at 400,000 EUR during his time with Paradou AC, according to updates in early and mid2024, reflecting his growing reputation as a reliable defensive option on the left. Although his valuation dipped to 200,000 EUR at the end of 2025, it climbed again to 275,000 EUR by 2026-06-11, shortly before his transfer to JS Kabylie was finalised, suggesting a recovery in form or status ahead of the move.

The defenders primary role is listed as left-back, under the broader category of defender, and he is expected to operate in that position for JS Kabylie. There is no detailed statistical breakdown of his recent season performances, appearances, or goal contributions in the available data, nor are there specific match-by-match records, results, or performance ratings. Likewise, there is no information about recent fixtures involving Paradou AC or JS Kabylie that would allow assessment of his form in individual games.

Bendouma has so far played exclusively in Algeria, representing USM Bel Abbes (including their U21 side), Paradou AC, and now JS Kabylie, all within the countrys football pyramid. Despite the domestic nature of the move, the data registers JS Kabylies competition as Ligue 1, underlining that he will continue at the top tier of Algerian football rather than moving abroad.

With no confirmed contract expiry date at JS Kabylie in the public record, the defenders long-term status remains open-ended. When that deal eventually concludes, he could either extend his stay, secure another move within Ligue 1, or become a free agent. For now, the confirmed transfer to JS Kabylie marks the next step in a career that has seen his value fluctuate but remain firmly in the upper bracket for a domestic full-back, and how he performs in Tizi Ouzou will go a long way to determining his next move once his current contract runs its course.
