Naïs Djouahra (born 23 November 1999) is a French professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Spanish club CD Leganés, on loan from Croatian club HNK Rijeka.
Club career[edit]
Born in Bourgoin-Jallieu, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Djouahra began his career with US Ruy Montceau at the age of six. He subsequently represented FC Bourgoin Jallieu before joining AS Saint-Étienne's youth setup for the under-14s.[1]
On 3 July 2018, after opting not to renew his contract with Saint-Étienne,[2] Djouahra signed a two-year contract with Real Sociedad, being initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[3] He made his senior debut on 1 September, starting and scoring his team's second in a 3–0 home win against SCD Durango.
On 26 February 2019, after establishing himself as a regular for Sanse, Djouahra renewed his contract until 2021.[4] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 29 June of the following year, coming on as a late substitute for Aritz Elustondo in a 2–1 away loss against Getafe CF.[5]
On 30 September 2020, Djouahra was loaned to Segunda División side CD Mirandés for the season.[6] He scored his first professional goal on 13 February of the following year, netting the opener in a 3–3 home draw against Girona FC.
Back to Sanse for the 2021–22 campaign, Djouahra was assigned back at the B-team now also in division two, but also featured regularly with the main squad. On 2 August 2022, he was transferred to Croatian Football League side HNK Rijeka, for a rumoured fee of € 750,000.[7]
On 31 August 2023, Djouahra returned to Spain and its second division, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with CD Leganés.[8]
Personal life[edit]
Born in France, Djouahra is of Algerian descent.[9]
