Raja Casablanca forward Houcine Rahimi has been in outstanding form, delivering crucial goals for his side in the Botola Pro under the management of Lassaad Chabbi.
His performances have cemented his importance to the squad as Raja pushes for success in the second half of the season.
The 23-year-old striker played a pivotal role in Raja’s 2-1 victory over CODM on Monday, netting the decisive second goal to secure all three points for his team.
His latest strike takes his tally to five goals this season in 16 league appearances, proving his effectiveness despite alternating between starting and substitute roles.
A key attacking asset for Raja
Rahimi’s contribution extends beyond just goals. In his 730 minutes on the pitch this season, he has demonstrated sharp movement, clinical finishing, and an ability to perform under pressure.
His five-goal haul has placed him four goals behind Botola Pro’s top scorer, Mohamed Rayhi, and with several matches remaining, he has the opportunity to close the gap.
With Chabbi at the helm, Rahimi has flourished, benefiting from a tactical system that maximizes his attacking potential.
The Tunisian coach’s trust in the young forward has been evident, allowing him to take on a more prominent role in Raja’s attacking setup.
Potential contract extension on the horizon
Given his rise in importance to the team, Raja’s management is reportedly considering a contract extension for Rahimi.
His growing stature within the squad, coupled with his consistent goal-scoring, makes him a valuable asset for the club’s future ambitions.
As the Botola Pro season progresses, Rahimi will be looking to further enhance his goal tally and help Raja compete for silverware.
His recent performances suggest that he could become a central figure in the club’s long-term plans, provided he maintains his current form.
With Chabbi’s tactical guidance and Rahimi’s increasing confidence, Raja Casablanca has a potent attacking option capable of delivering in crucial moments.
The striker’s continued improvement could be a defining factor in the club’s pursuit of success this season.
