Mouad Hadded: Algerian defender joins MC Oran on free transfer from Kazma SC

Algerian centre-back Mouad Hadded has joined MC Oran on a free transfer from Kuwaiti side Kazma SC.

The 29-year-old returns to his home country by signing for the Ligue 1 club after his spell in Kuwait, where he had been on the books of Kazma. The deal was finalised on 19 July, with Hadded moving without a transfer fee following the end of his time in the Gulf.

Hadded, who plays primarily at centre-back, strengthens MC Oran’s defensive options as they prepare for the new domestic campaign. His arrival adds experience to the back line, with the Algerian bringing knowledge of football both at home and abroad.

The move marks the latest step in Hadded’s career, which has taken him from Algeria to the Kuwaiti top flight and now back into Ligue 1. His switch from Kazma SC gives MC Oran an additional defensive specialist as they look to bolster their squad depth.

Hadded’s free transfer from Kazma SC to MC Oran is registered as a completed move for the 2026-27 season.
