Club career

Crystal Palace

Djilali came through the academy at Crystal Palace, going on trial with Manchester United in mid-2007. He made his Palace debut at 17, followed quickly by a string of first-team appearances in which he impressed. A year later he moved to League Two side Chesterfield, where he scored his first career goal in a game against Darlington on 21 November 2009.[1]

He returned to Crystal Palace following his loan spell on 12 January 2010,[2] and scored his first goal for Palace against Doncaster Rovers on 27 February 2010.[3] He began the following season in Palace's first XI but dropped out as manager George Burley sought to bring in more experience. In February, he returned to table-topping Chesterfield for a second loan spell, helping them to the League Two title. With his contract at parent club Palace expired, he opted to leave Selhurst Park in the summer of 2011 to seek more game time.

In July 2011 Djilali played in pre-season on trial for Scunthorpe United.[4]

On 26 August 2011, Djilali signed for Football League Two club AFC Wimbledon.
