JS Kabylie
In June 2009, he joined JS Kabylie on a season-long loan, which included an option to purchase, dependent on Paradou AC failing to achieve promotion.

Tedjar made his debut for the Algeria A' national team on 18 April 2010, entering as a substitute during an African Championship of Nations qualifying match versus Libya.
His inaugural call-up to the Algerian National Team came on 12 August 2011 when coach Vahid Halilhodžić selected him for the squad competing in a 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania.
