Faissal El Bakhtaoui (born 8 November 1992) is a French Moroccan[1] footballer who plays as a midfielder for Dunfermline Athletic.
Career
El Bakhtaoui begin his career with French side Racing Club de la Baie. In July 2012, Scottish First Division side Dunfermline Athletic signed El Bakhtaoui after he impressed then-manager Jim Jefferies in trial matches against Berwick Rangers and Lochgelly.[2] His first season with The Pars resulted in him mainly working on his development, with only two appearances being made in the latter stages of the season.
With Dunfermline's financial difficulties causing many first team players to leave the club, El Bakhtaoui started to feature in more matches, mainly in the second half of the 2013-14 season, where he went on to score four goals in eighteen matches; two of which were in the crucial Scottish Championship play-off matches against Stranraer in May 2014.[3][4]
The 2014-15 season started even more brightly for El Bakhtaoui, having been included in the Pars team for most matches. In October and November, he scored six goals in six matches to help Dunfermline in their push for promotion to the Scottish Championship.
