Hemza Mihoubi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hemza Mihoubi (born January 13, 1986 in Oran, Algeria) is a French-Algerian football player who is currently playing for US Lecce in the Italian Serie B.

[edit] Club career

Mihoubi started his professional career at FC Metz where he came up through the club's youth system. After a season with the first team, Hemza joined Italian club US Lecce. He was loaned out to Belgian club SC Charleroi but failed to make an impact there and returned to US Lecce, where he is now playing regular football.

[edit] International career

Mihoubi started his international career for the Algerian Under 18 team, earning two caps at this level. However, taking advantage of FIFA regulations, he switched allegiances and played for the French Under 19 team, where he got five caps. He is the first known Algerian player to make the this switch, with most players doing the reverse.
