Samy Frioui (born on 7 September 1991) is a professional Algerian football player currently positioned as a striker for Al-Khaldiya SC in Bahrain.
Club career
Originating from Kouba, Algeria, Frioui initiated his football journey within the youth ranks of USM Alger. His early senior team involvement was limited until the 2013–2014 season when he gained prominence, largely due to coach Rolland Courbis's strategy to favor youth promotion over external signings. Frioui netted a goal in his starting debut during a derby against USM El Harrach, yet he only appeared in six matches as USMA secured the league title.
After being left out of USM Alger's squad for the 2014-2015 season, Frioui was sent on loan to USM El Harrach. Subsequently, in 2015, he joined JSM Béjaïa before moving to USM Blida in 2016. His efforts contributed to Blida’s elevation to Division 1, and during the 2017–2018 campaign, he scored 15 goals, drawing attention from European clubs. On 8 June 2018, Frioui signed a three-year contract with Greek side AEL, but departed by mutual agreement on 14 December 2018 without featuring in any league matches.
Later that year, he signed with MC Alger, where he played a key role over multiple seasons before making a move to Al-Khaldiya SC in Bahrain in 2022.
