Zouhair Feddal Agharbi (Arabic: زهير فضال; born 1 January 1989), also known as Zou Feddal, is a Moroccan professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Real Betis. Mainly a central defender, he can also appear as a left back or defensive midfielder.

Club career

Born in Tétouan, Feddal started playing for Moghreb Tétouan at a young age, before moving with his family to Spain when at the age of six.[2] In 2006, after representing FC Vilamalla and CF Peralada as a youth, he joined AS Monaco FC's youth setup, but moved back to Spain with CE Mataró in the following year.[3]

Feddal joined UE Vilajuïga in the 2008 summer, making his senior debuts with the side in Tercera División. In July 2009 he signed a three-year deal with Segunda División B side Terrassa FC,[4] but moved to CD Teruel in the fourth tier in January of the following year.

On 13 August 2010 Feddal signed for CD San Roque de Lepe in the third division, after being previously on trial.[5] In May of the following year he moved to RCD Espanyol, being assigned to the reserves in the same level.[6]

Feddal was released by the Pericos in June 2012, and subsequently signed for FUS de Rabat in September.[7][8] After finally making his professional debuts, he moved to Italian club Parma in August 2013,[9] being subsequently loaned to Siena in Serie B. He picked no.11 shirt.[10]

Feddal made his debut for the Bianconeri on 14 September 2013, starting in a 2–2 away draw against Juve Stabia.[11] He made 27 appearances for the side before returning to his parent club.

On 2 August 2014 Feddal moved to Palermo in Serie A, with an option for the Sicilians to permanently sign him by the end of the season.[12] He made his debut in the competition on 15 September, starting in a 1–2 loss at Hellas Verona.[13]

Feddal's loan was cut short on 2 February 2015,[14] and he made his Parma debut nine days later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 home defeat to Chievo Verona.[15] After the club's dissolution, he was released.

On 8 August 2015 Feddal returned to Spain, after agreeing to a three-year deal with La Liga side Levante UD.[16] He made his debut in the category on 30 August, starting in a 0–0 away draw against UD Las Palmas.[17]

Feddal scored his first goal in the main category of the Spanish football on 22 November 2015, netting the second in a 3–0 away win against Sporting de Gijón. He was released in May 2016, after the club's relegation, due to a clause in his contract.[18]

On 16 July 2016, Feddal signed a three-year deal with fellow top tier club Deportivo Alavés.[19] On 24 July of the following year, he moved to fellow league team Real Betis after agreeing to a four-year deal.[20]
