He started playing amateur football with Racing Paris in the fifth tier of French football, where his form for the club attracted attention from Ligue 2 club Sedan, who he joined in 2004. He made a total of 15 appearances for the club, scoring one goal.

He then moved up to the third tier with L'Entente SSG in 2006. He made a total of 21 appearances for the club, scoring 3 times. He signed for fellow French third-tier side US Créteil-Lusitanos in 2007, where he scored 6 times in 24 appearances.[5]

Belgium

Guedioura moved to Belgium 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 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 as a captain, scoring one goal, before joining English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan in January 2010 until the end of the season.[6]

Wolverhampton Wanderers

edit

Within 24 hours of his arrival at Wolves, he made his 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,[7] 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.[8]

Guedioura suffered a fractured tibia after a challenge by Aston Villa's Steve Sidwell on 26 September 2010.[9] On 30 March, Guedioura returned for Wolves after 6 months out injured against Blackpool Reserves, playing the full 90 minutes and winning the game 2–1, with Guedioura scoring a 25-yard strike.[10] On 9 April, Guedioura made his first team appearance after 6 months out injured for Wolves, playing 75 minutes against Premier League side Everton.

On 23 July 2012, Guedioura joined Nottingham Forest permanently for an undisclosed fee,[18] believed to be £1m.[19] He signed a three-year contract.[20] He asked his Twitter followers if he should wear the 22 shirt or number 7 for the club.[21] He announced the following day that he would be wearing number 7,[22] which was confirmed by the club soon after.[23]

Guedioura scored the winner for Nottingham Forest on the first day of the season, in a 1–0 win over Bristol City. On 10 November Guedioura scored an equalizer against Leicester City F.C. to make the score 1–1, the game finished 2–2.

Guedioura rejoined Watford on an emergency loan deal on 27 February 2015.[29]

After two successful loan spells at Watford in the 2014–15 season, an agreement was reached between Crystal Palace and Watford for a permanent transfer on 1 September 2015. Guedioura signed a three-year deal with "The Hornets".[30]

He appeared as a substitute in all three of Algeria's group games during the competition – against Slovenia, England and the United States – 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 a 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifier, enabling the team to achieve their first point of the campaign as well as his first international goal.
