Mourad Benhamida (born 18 January 1986) is a French former professional footballer who played as right-back.
Career
Lyon
Born in Villeurbanne, Rhône, Benhamida was trained in the youth sections and player development program of Lyon.[2]
He was known for his prowess in the ranks of the Lyon's junior amateur team, playing in the CFA 2 that he captained. In April 2006, Lyon's president Jean-Michel Aulas announced that Benhamida would sign a one-year professional contract with the club alongside fellow young hope and France U-18 international Grégory Bettiol. Both helped their team win the second division Amateur Championship to get promoted in the CFA.[3]
He was considered part of the young generation of promising players formed by Lyon who were signed by the club (sometimes before being sold to other outfits) like: Jérémy Berthod, Karim Benzema, Hatem Ben Arfa, Bryan Bergougnoux, Grégory Bettiol, and Jérémy Clément.
Montpellier
Benhamida, after receiving little playing time with Lyon, transferred to Montpellier HSC on a Bosman transfer. He made his debut as a late-match substitute in Montpellier's 3–1 win over Libourne. He scored his first goal on 17 August 2007 against Troyes in Montpellier's 3–0 victory.[4]
