Adlene Guedioura, the former Nottingham Forest and Watford midfielder has joined Al Gharafa, the Club announced yesterday.

The Algerian star who was unveiled by the Al Gharafa officials during a press conference in Doha, yesterday, left the English club after his second permanent spell at the City Ground since joining from Middlesbrough in 2018.

The 33-year-old was part of the Algeria side which won the Africa Cup of Nations in July, beating Senegal 1-0 in the final.

The former Watford player Guedioura scored twice for Forest in the Championship last season in 27 appearances.

“Happy and honoured to join @algharafasc. Thank you for your warm welcome. I can’t wait to start this new adventure and give my best,” Guedioura tweeted yesterday on his official handle @AdleneGUEDIOURA before joining his new team-mates in a training session.
