Billal Mehadji has completed a free transfer from Paris 13 Atletico to US Créteil-Lusitanos, strengthening the National 2 side’s options on the left flank. The 26-year-old left midfielder joins Créteil on a deal starting 28/11/2025, ending 30/06/2026, after leaving Paris 13 at the end of his spell in the Championnat National.
The move keeps Mehadji in the Paris region but sees him drop from the third tier to National 2 – Groupe C, where Créteil are pushing to re-establish themselves higher up the French pyramid. Listed with a market value of €50,000 shortly before the transfer, Mehadji arrives as a low-cost, low-risk addition who offers experience across several levels of French football.
Born in Montfermeil and standing 1.71m tall, Mehadji is a right-footed wide midfielder whose main position is on the left, allowing him to cut inside or stretch play on the flank. Eligible for both France and Algeria, he brings dual-nationality appeal to a Créteil side that has traditionally drawn on the rich talent pool of the Parisian banlieues.
His switch to Créteil continues a career spent entirely in France so far, but one that has taken him through a variety of environments. After early years at FC Montfermeil’s youth setup, he moved through LB Châteauroux’s U17s and Jeanne d’Arc de Drancy U17 before joining Stade Rennais’ academy structure. Progressing from Rennes’ U19s to their B team in 2017, he later experienced a brief spell without a club in 2019 before restarting at Football Club 93 Bobigny B later that year.
From there, Mehadji rebuilt steadily in the Paris region’s competitive lower leagues, securing a move to FCM Aubervilliers in 2021, then to FC Chambly Oise in 2024. In 2025 he joined Paris 13 Atletico, competing in the Championnat National, prior to sealing his latest move to Créteil. The transfer continues a pattern of short, focused stints in clubs operating around the third and fourth tiers, underlining his familiarity with the demands of semi-professional and professional football at this level.
While specific appearance and goal statistics for his most recent seasons are not listed in the available data, his consistent presence in ambitious National and National 2 setups suggests he has been valued for his versatility across the left side of midfield and his ability to adapt to different team structures. His market value, still set at €50,000 in October 2025 while at Paris 13, reflects a player seen as a solid asset within the French lower divisions.
For Créteil, who compete in National 2 – Groupe C, Mehadji’s arrival offers additional depth and experience as they navigate a demanding campaign against regional rivals. His background with clubs such as Rennes B, Châteauroux’s youth sector and Paris-based outfits like Bobigny, Aubervilliers and Paris 13 Atletico means he is used to both the technical requirements and physical intensity of French domestic football.
Mehadji’s contract gives both player and club a clear medium‑term horizon. If he impresses in National 2, he has the opportunity to reassert his value and potentially climb back towards the higher tiers, while Créteil gain a left-sided specialist with a proven track record across multiple French clubs and youth systems.
