Adlène Guedioura (born 12 November 1985) is a French-born Algerian international footballer who plays as a central midfielder for English Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Guedioura is the son of former Algerian international striker, Nacer Guedioura. His mother, Enriqueta Soreira Pons, was a former Spanish basketball player.[1]

Club Career

France

Guedioura, born in La-Roche-sur-Yon, France, started playing amateur football with Racing Paris, in the Fifth Tier of French football. His impressive form for the club attracted attention from Ligue 2 club Sedan, who he then joined in 2004. Guedioura struggled to find any first team chances at Sedan and left the club in 2005 to join French Fourth Tier club Noisy-le-Sec. He made a total of 15 appearances for the club, scoring one goal. He then moved up to the Third Tier of French football with L'Entente SSG in 2006. This is where he earned himself the nickname "The Classy Bull". He made a total of 21 appearances for the club, scoring 3 times. He then moved onto fellow French Third Tier side US Créteil-Lusitanos in 2007, where he scored 6 times in 24 appearances.

Belgium

Guedioura moved from French Third Tier football into Belgian football in the summer of 2008, joining Belgian Pro League side Kortrijk on a two year deal. He made a total on 10 appearances for Kortrijk. He spent just half a season with the club and moved to fellow Belgian Pro League side Charleroi in January 2009, and signed a year-and-a-half contract. He made a total of 25 appearances for the club, scoring one goal, before joining English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan until the end of the season.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

On 25 January 2010, Guedioura joined English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan until the end of the season, with an option of a permanent deal. Within 24 hours of his arrival, he made his Wolves debut as a substitute in a goalless draw against Liverpool, soon becoming a regular starter as the club ensured their survival in the Premier League for the first time. He made his first Wolves start in the 1-0 win over Tottenham, on 10 February 2010. He scored his first goal for the club in the final game of the season to earn a victory over Sunderland, after which it was confirmed that he had signed a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £2m.[2]

Guedioura suffered a fractured tibia after a challenge by Aston Villa's Steve Sidwell on 26 September 2010.[3] He returned to full first team training on 9 March 2011, after more than five months out injured.[4]

International career

Guedioura received his first international recognition when he was included in Algeria's preliminary squad for the 2010 World Cup.[5] He made his international debut on 28 May 2010 in a 0–3 defeat to the Republic of Ireland,[6] before being confirmed in the final squad for the tournament in South Africa. He appeared as a substitute in all three of Algeria's group games - against Slovenia, England and the USA - during the competition where the team finished bottom of their group. On 3 September 2010 Guedioura scored the equalizer in a 1-1 home draw with Tanzania in the 2012 African nations qualifier winning Algeria their first point of the campaign.
