Karim Herouat (born December 11, 1986 in France ) is a French football player of Algerian origin.

Career

Herouat, whose parents come from the Algerian port city of Bejaia , grew up in France and began playing football at a youth center in Villepinte near the capital Paris. In young adulthood he wore the jersey of the sixth division club CS Meaux, which is also based in the region . In May 2009 he was registered in a speed control with 170 instead of the permitted 90 km / h and moreover did not have a driver's license. At the trial on August 4th of the same year, he was sentenced to three months in prison without parole, arrested immediately, and released on October 17th. The fourth division Jeanne d'Arc Drancy took him on despite this incident in their squad. A week after his release from prison, on October 24, 2009, he played his first game in a 2-2 draw against RC Strasbourg for his new club, which signed the player before his stay in prison and then to him had held. In the following time he was at Drancy from a substitute to a high performer, even if he was not completely undisputed as a regular player. He aroused the interest of third division US Quevilly , who signed him in the summer of 2011.

At Quevilly he usually sat on the bench, from where he came on very regularly. While the team ranked in midfield in the league, they particularly attracted attention in the cup when they beat the internationally renowned first division club Olympique Marseille in the quarter-finals . In the semifinals, the team initially fell 1-0 against the also top-notch Stade Rennes , but Herouat equalized in the 64th minute and moved into the 2012 cup final with Quevilly thanks to Anthony Laup's winning goal in the 90th minute . Herouat had to sit on the bench against Olympique Lyon and came into play in the 57th minute when Julien Valéro was 0-1 . Subsequently, no further goal was scored, which left it with a 0-1 defeat and the third division team just missed winning the trophy. Like many of his teammates, Herouat had thus contested the cup final without being able to book a professional appearance in the first or second division.

In August 2012 he turned his back on Quevilly and went back to Drancy, who was still in fourth class. Before that, the Algerian club JSM Béjaïa had allegedly been interested in him, but a change to this did not take place. In the 2012/13 season he recorded the best goal yield of his career for Drancy with ten goals. After another year in which he no longer appeared as a goalscorer and only scored two goals, he moved to the fifth-rate capital club UJA Maccabi Paris in the summer of 2014 . After a season at Maccabi, he joined a fourth division club from Aubervilliers.
