Yousri Bouzok: Algerian winger returns home as CR Belouizdad seal deal from Al-Raed

Algerian right winger Yousri Bouzok has completed a move to CR Belouizdad from Saudi Arabian side Al-Raed, with the transfer finalised on 7 July 2026 for an undisclosed fee.

Bouzok, 29, joins the Algiers club as an established wide attacker after a spell in the Saudi First Division League with Al-Raed, where his market value most recently stood at 1.2m. The Constantine-born winger is right-footed and stands at 1.75m, operating primarily on the right flank in attack.

The switch marks a return to Algerian domestic football for Bouzok, who first emerged at Paradou AC. He progressed from Paradous youth ranks into the first team in 2016 and developed into one of the most highly rated players in the Algerian top flight, with his value rising steadily during his time there and peaking at around 1m before his initial move abroad.

In 2022 he left Paradou for Raja Club Athletic in Morocco, gaining experience in another leading North African league. His performances in Casablanca saw his value increase further, reaching around 2m in mid-2024, underlining his status as a key attacking asset during his time with the Moroccan club.

Bouzok then moved from Raja to Al-Raed in January 2025, adding a spell in Saudi football to his career and maintaining a seven-figure valuation through to his final months at the club. His transfer to CR Belouizdad now brings him back to Ligue 1 in Algeria at the age of 29, with a profile shaped by domestic success and experience across Morocco and Saudi Arabia.

The completed deal makes Bouzok one of the most notable returning Algerian attackers to rejoin the domestic league ahead of the 202627 season.
