On July 31, 2010, Benzerga made his professional debut, starting for Nantes in their Coupe de la Ligue game against US Boulogne.[2] A week later, on August 9, 2010, Benzerga made his league debut for Nantes in the opening game of the 2010–11 Ligue 2 season against Le Mans FC. He started the game before being subbed off in the 67th minute.[3]
Benzerga played for the French Under-17 National Team participating in the 2007 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship where France reached the semi-finals. Benzerga started all four of France's games at the competition.
