Club career
Born in Rouen,[2] Mokrane Bentoumi first played football in Petit-Couronne, before spending time at FC Rouen.[3]
He joined the Le Havre academy in 2018,[4] becoming a regular with the under-19s by the 2021–22 season, during which he was part of the team that beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe Gambardella.[5][6][7]
The following season, whilst still impressing with the under-19,[8][9] Bentoumi became a regular with Le Havre reserve team, scoring his first goal in March 2023, during a 1–0 National 3 win against the Mont-Gaillard team.[10]
He made his professional debut for Le Havre on the 15 May 2023, replacing Josué Casimir at the 80th minute of a 1–0 Ligue 2 away loss to FC Annecy. In a team still trying to consolidate its status as league leader, the young playmaker made a strong impression, even coming close to delivering a decisive assist to Yann Kitala.[2][3][11]
On 14 August 2024, Bentoumi was loaned by Villefranche in Championnat National.[12]
