After playing for three different neighborhood clubs in Marseille, Ouasfane received offers from local side Olympique de Marseille and Toulouse FC. 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.
On May 16, 2009, Ouasfane signed a 3-year contract with Ligue 2 side Angers SCO.[4] On August 21, 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 AC.[5]
On July 17, 2010, Ouasfane went on trial with English Championship side Crystal Palace F.C..[6] During his trial, he started in a pre-season friendly against Chelsea F.C..[7][8]
On August 9, 2009, Algeria's Under-23 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]
