Career

ES Sétif

Ziaya was born in Guelma. He played regularly in ES Sétif's first team, and was a fixture in the club's 2006–07 Arab Champions League triumph, scoring a goal against Al-Ittihad in the second round [2] and against Al-Nasr in the group stage. [3] Ziaya scored again in the 2007–08 Arab Champions League versus Al-Wehda in the round of 16. [4]

On 26 December 2009, it was announced that the 25-year-old Algerian striker was going to move on loan from ES Sétif to FC Sochaux with an option to buy. [5] However, four days later, it was reported that ES Sétif president refused to loan the player to Sochaux and was negotiating with Saudi Arabian club Ittihad Jeddah. [6]

Ittihad Jeddah

On 6 January 2010, Ziaya signed a two-year contract with Saudi Arabian Ittihad Jeddah, with the club paying €2 million for the transfer. [7] He scored two goals in his first game for the club, a 4–1 win in a friendly against Al-Ettifaq. [8] On 23 February 2010, Ziaya made his official debut for Al-Ittihad in an AFC Champions League match against FC Bunyodkor in Uzbekistan, with the score ending 3–0 in favour of the home side. [9] He scored his first official goal for the club on 8 March 2010 in an AFC Champions League match Zob Ahan. [10] Ziaya scored the goal in the 16th minute of the game, with the game ending 2–2. In his first league game for Ittihad, on 14 March against Al-Ahli, he delivered an assist to Manaf Abushgeer for the only goal of the game. Despite achieving only one championship with the team in two years, he is considered to be one of Ittihad's greatest strikers recently and has expressed his urge to rejoin Saudi Arabia. [11]

Club Athlétique Bizertin
