Club career

Hsissane joined Nîmes at the age of ten, and trained throughout the youth ranks, apart from a single season with Alès when he was 13. He got to make his senior debut in Ligue 2 on 10 May 2011 against Vannes OC in a 3–1 defeat.[1][2] In June 2011 he signed his first professional contract with the club.[3]

After three seasons with the first team in Ligue 2, a total of 61 appearances, Hsissane was released by Nîmes in the summer of 2015.[4] He spent an unsuccessfuly year in Morocco, before returning to France with Championnat National side Lyon-Duchère in the summer of 2016.[1][5]

Released by Lyon-Duchère at the end of the season, Hsissane found himself without a club. He approached Nîmes for the opportunity to train with the reserves in October 2017 and was re-signed by the club at the end of the month. Injuries and suspensions in the first team gave him an opportunity for more Ligue 2 action, and he played three times (and was on the bench another ten) before the end of the 2017–18 season.[1]

Nîmes were promoted to Ligue 1 for the 2018–19 season, but Hsissane didn't make it on to the pitch. In June 2019 he left to sign for Le Puy in the Championnat National.[6] Despite signing a two-year deal, he cancelled his contract at the end of the 2019–20 season when Le Puy were relegated, and after considering options abroad, signed for newly-promoted Championnat National side Sète.[7]

International career

Born in France and of Moroccan descent, Hsissane is a two-time international for the Morocco U21s.[8][9]
