Mohamed JAOUAB

Moroccan-born defender Mohamed Jaouab is a promising player who was developed at Académie Royale Mohamed VI, just like a certain Nayef Aguerd. Good at clearing his lines, he is also good in the air, and he arrived in September 2022, signing his first professional contract for two years, tying him to Stade Rennais until June 2024. This tall centre-back (1.98 metres) can also play as a defensive midfielder. His arrival was primarily seen as a recruit designed to bolster the defence in the Reserves. As of the Summer 2023, he started to participate regularly in training with the professional group, presumably as he is likely to figure in the Ligue 1 squad for the 2023/2024 season. After a convincing pre-season campaign, he signed a contract extension with Rennes until 2027.
