Hicham Khaloua Khaloua (born 7 May 1995) is a footballer who plays as a forward for Union de Touarga. Born in Spain, he has represented Morocco at under-20 and under-23 international levels.

Club career

[edit]

Born in San Javier, Murcia to Moroccan parents,[1] Hicham started his youth career with local Mar Menor CF, and in 2005 he joined FC Cartagena at the age of 14.[2] On 14 July 2011, after being linked with FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Málaga CF, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, he went on a trial at Manchester City,[3] but nothing came of it.

On 2 August 2011, still a junior, Hicham signed for UD Almería.[4] He made his senior debut with the B-team in the 2011–12 season, in Segunda División B.

On 14 July 2013, Hicham signed a new deal with the Andalusians, running until 2018.[5] On 18 December he played his first official game with the main squad, featuring the last 32 minutes in a 0–0 home draw against UD Las Palmas for the campaign's Copa del Rey.[6]

On 24 March 2014, aged 18, Hicham came on as a late substitute in a La Liga home fixture against Real Sociedad, and scored a last-minute 4–3 winner after just three minutes on the pitch on the day of his league debut.[7] On 19 July 2016 he was loaned to another reserve team, Celta de Vigo B also in the third division, with a buyout clause.[8]

On 17 August 2017, after returning from loan, Hicham renewed with Almería until 2021, being definitely promoted to the main squad.[9] The following 11 July, he was loaned to third level club CD Castellón for one year.[10]

On 24 January 2019, Hicham joined fellow third division side UCAM Murcia CF on loan until June.[11] On 31 July, after returning from loan, he terminated his contract with the Rojiblancos,[12] and signed for UD Melilla on 2 August.[13]

On 27 January 2020, Hicham agreed to a 18-month contract with Cádiz CF, being assigned to the B-team in the third tier.[14]

International career

[edit]

Hicham was called up to the Morocco under-20 team in April 2013,[15] and also appeared with the nation in the 2013 Mediterranean Games, netting five times in as many matches as the tournament ended in conquest.[16] He was also called up to the under-23s in May 2016.[17]
