Club career

Brescia

H'Maidat played for various teams in his youth career. In 2014, he joined Brescia. He made his Serie B debut on 30 May 2014 against Trapani. He came in as an 87th-minute substitute for Daniele Corvia in a 0–1 away win.[1]

On 31 January 2016, H'Maidat moved to Serie A club Roma for €3.15 million fee (€150,000 cash plus Ndoj and Somma).[2][3][4] on a four-and-a-half-year contract.[5] He joined Ascoli on a temporary deal immediately.[2][6]

In August 2016 H'Maidat was signed by Serie B club Vicenza.[7] He left the club in January 2017.[8] He was loaned to Portuguese club Olhanense, which was coached by an Italian Cristiano Bacci.

On 7 July 2017, H'Maidat was loaned to Belgian club Westerlo.[9] In January 2018 he was fired by Westerlo for sportsperson unworthy behavior off the field.[10][11]

Como

On 25 July 2019, after a trial period, H'Maidat was signed by Serie C club Como[12] allowing him to return to active football.

On 31 January 2022, H'Maidat was loaned to Südtirol.[13]

H'Maidat made his first appearance for the senior Morocco national team in a 4–0 friendly win over Canada in October 2016.[14]

Personal life

On 13 March 2018, it was announced that he was arrested for five armed robberies in Belgium.[15] Initially he was found guilty, but H'Maidat successfully appealed the decision and was totally absolved in May 2019, letting him free to comeback to football activities after having spent ten months in jail.[16]
