Abdelhakim Omrani (born 18 February 1991) is a French professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for RFCU Luxembourg.[1]
Club career
[edit]Omrani began his career playing for Metz. He later left the club for Nancy, where he spent six years before heading north to RC Lens. Omrani received his first call up to the senior squad for the team's match against Angers on 6 March 2009. He made his professional debut in that match appearing as a substitute in the 72nd minute. The match finished 2–2 with Lens scoring their goals in the 88th minute and the 92nd minute.[2] The following week, Omrani made another substitute appearance in a 1–0 defeat to Ajaccio. In August 2011, Omrani went on trial to German club Bayern Munich.[3] However, despite impressing, the two clubs could not agree to terms and Omrani remained at Lens.[4][5] In December 2012, Omrani went on trial with Newcastle United.[6] However, he failed to impress manager Alan Pardew and returned to Lens.[7] On 14 February 2012, Lens announced that Omrani had left the club.[8]
In November 2013, Omrani signed a two-year contract with Nîmes Olympique, after Le Mans suffered relegation to the lower divisions for financial reasons.[9]
On 5 September 2017, Omrani signed a one-year contract, with an option for a further year, with League One side Oldham Athletic.[10] He was released by Oldham at the end of the 2017–18 season, following their relegation.[11] He went on to the Belgian amateur level and R.E. Virton.
In January 2020, Omrani moved to Racing FC Union Luxembourg after six months without a club.[12]
International career
[edit]After previously representing France at the under-19 level, Omrani switched his allegiance to Algeria in September 2011 after being called up to the Algerian under-23 national team by coach Azzedine Aït Djoudi for a four-day training camp in Sidi Moussa.[13] He was convinced to make the switch by Algerian international Antar Yahia.
Personal life
[edit]Omrani was born in Freyming-Merlebach in the Moselle department to Algerian parents.[14] He holds both French and Algerian nationalities.[15] He comes from an athletic family which consists of six children. The eldest, Yasmina, is a professional heptathlete. Omrani also has two younger brothers who play football: Billel played for CFR Cluj and is a French youth international while Nabil has played in the youth system of a local club in Marseille.[16]
