Club career
editAfter playing for three different neighborhood clubs in Marseille, Ouasfane received offers from local side Marseille, and Toulouse. He chose Toulouse saying that "joining Marseille at such a young age scared [him] a little".[2][3] With Toulouse, he became captain of the reserve side, even making a few appearances on the substitutes bench for the first team but failing to make any appearances.[citation needed]
On 16 May 2009, Ouasfane signed a three-year contract with Ligue 2 side Angers.[4] On 21 August 2009, he made his professional debut, coming on as a substitute for Sébastien Renouard in the 60th minute of the Ligue 2 match against Le Havre.[5]
On 17 July 2010, Ouasfane went on trial with English Championship side Crystal Palace.[6] During his trial, he started in a pre-season friendly against Chelsea.[7][8]
International career
editOn 9 August 2009, Algeria U23 national team's head coach Abdelhak Benchikha called up Ouasfane for the first time for a six-day training camp in Blida, Algeria. The camp was capped off with a friendly against local side USM Blida.[9] He received further call-ups the following months for camps in Alger and Marseille.[10][11]
