SM Caen have bolstered their squad with the arrival of Moroccan attacking midfielder Yassine Benrahou, who joins the Ligue 2 side on loan from Croatian club Hajduk Split.
The 26-year-old will remain at Caen until the end of the season as the club looks to secure its survival in the second tier of French football.
Benrahou, who has previously played in Ligue 1 with Girondins de Bordeaux and Nîmes Olympique, brings valuable experience to a Caen side currently struggling in 17th place and facing the threat of relegation.
His return to French football is expected to provide an important boost for the Normandy club as they battle to stay in Ligue 2 BKT.
The club’s official statement welcomed Benrahou with optimism, stating, “Wearing the number 24, Yassine Benrahou will bring all his experience and technical ease to SM Caen.
His return to France coincides with the club’s crucial mission: to ensure maintenance in Ligue 2 BKT. His ability to make the difference in key moments will be an undeniable asset for the team during this period.”
Benrahou’s playing style is expected to add creativity and flair to Caen’s midfield, with the player known for his technical ability and his knack for influencing matches in decisive moments.
Having gained experience in both the French top flight and abroad, Benrahou’s leadership and skill set could prove vital as Caen aim to steer clear of relegation.
This move marks a new chapter in Benrahou’s career after a stint with Hajduk Split, where he contributed to the team’s success in the Croatian top division.
His return to France gives him a chance to showcase his talents once again on familiar ground and contribute to Caen’s survival fight.
With the stakes high, all eyes will be on Benrahou to see how quickly he can adapt to his new environment and help Caen navigate the challenges of the remainder of the season.
As the club battles to maintain its Ligue 2 status, the 26-year-old midfielder could prove to be a key figure in their fight for survival.
