Jugurtha Hamroun (; Tamazight: ⵊⵓⴳⵓⵔⵜⴰ ⵀⴰⵎⵔⵓⵏ; born 27 January 1989) is a professional football player from Algeria who operates primarily as a winger.
Hamroun began his football journey with French club En Avant de Guingamp and has since competed professionally in several countries including Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Qatar, and Algeria.
He has represented the Algerian national team at the under-23 level, making his debut in November 2011.
Personal life
Born in Bouzeguene, located in Tizi Ouzou Province within the Kabylia region, Hamroun relocated to France with his family at the age of five, settling in Neuilly-sur-Marne near Paris. He obtained French citizenship through naturalization on 4 June 2008. His cousin is fellow footballer Rezki Hamroune.
Guingamp
Hamroun entered the youth ranks of En Avant de Guingamp at age 12. He secured his first professional contract on 8 April 2008, committing for three years. His debut in Ligue 2 came on 29 August when he appeared as a substitute during a 1–1 draw against CS Sedan Ardennes.
Over three seasons at Stade du Roudourou, he split time between the senior squad and reserves, accumulating 26 official appearances, which included two matches in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League.
Chernomorets Burgas
On 26 July 2011, Hamroun joined Bulgarian side PSFC Chernomorets Burgas on a free transfer with a contract lasting three years. He marked his debut in the A PFG by scoring in a 2–0 home victory over PFC Lokomotiv Plovdiv on 20 August.
Karabükspor
Hamroun moved to Turkish top-tier club Kardemir Karabükspor on 18 January 2012 for an estimated €600,000 fee. He made his first appearance three days later, playing 70 minutes in a 2–1 home win against Trabzonspor.
During the 2012–13 season, he featured in 20 games as Karabükspor narrowly escaped relegation by finishing 15th.
Oțelul Galați
After spending several months without a club following summer release, Hamroun signed a half-year contract with Romanian outfit Oțelul Galați in January 2015 amid the team’s financial difficulties. On 19 April, he netted his second goal in Romania’s top flight during a 2–1 victory over eventual champions Steaua București, although Oțelul eventually suffered relegation.
FCSB
Following Oțelul's drop to Liga II, Hamroun opted not to renew his contract. Despite interest from Petrolul Ploiești, a proposed move to Giresunspor was announced on 29 June 2015 but failed due to the club's financial issues and transfer limitations. Subsequently, he signed a three-year contract with FCSB in July and debuted on 14 July against AS Trenčín during the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, scoring in a 2–0 away win.
Samsunspor
Hamroun joined Turkish side Samsunspor in January 2021.
JS Kabylie
On 5 February 2024, he finalized a contract with Algerian club JS Kabylie.
International career
Hamroun received his first call-up to the Algerian under-23 squad on 22 December 2009 for a training camp held in Algiers. Nearly two years later, after scoring four goals in eight matches within the Bulgarian league, manager Azzedine Aït Djoudi recalled him in October 2011.
He made his under-23 debut as a substitute on 15 November 2011 during a friendly against the South African under-23 team. The following day, he was included in the roster for the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations tournament hosted by Morocco.
