Ouacharaf renewed his link with Málaga on 7 July 2021,[4] and made his senior debut with the reserves on 12 September of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute for David Larrubia in a 2–1 Tercera División RFEF away loss against Motril CF.

Ouacharaf made his first team debut on 22 December 2022, starting in a 2–1 loss at Gimnàstic de Tarragona, for the season's Copa del Rey.[6][7] His Segunda División debut occurred the following 27 May, as he replaced Alberto Escassi in a 1–1 home draw against UD Ibiza, as both sides were already relegated.[8][9]
