Club career[]

Born in Al Aaroui, Jahouh started his career with Ittihad Khemisset.[3] In 2010, he joined Moghreb Tétouan.[4] Jahouh went on to win the 2011–12 Botola and the 2013–14 Botola with Moghreb.[5] On 28 September 2012, he joined Emirati club Al-Ittihad Kalba on a year long loan deal.[6] In January 2013, he was released by Kalba.[7][8] On 8 September 2015, he signed with Raja Casablanca and penned a three-year contract.[8] After being used sparingly by Casablanca, he joined FUS Rabat on 25 July 2016 on a three-year contract.[9] On 31 October, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–2 draw against Casablanca.[10]

On 2 August 2017, Jahouh joined Indian Super League side Goa on a season-long loan. He became the first Moroccan footballer to play in India.[11] During the season, he refused to display a sponsor logo of an alcohol brand on match shirt citing religious reasons.[12] Jahouh extended his stay at the club after a successful debut season on loan.[13] In May 2019, he signed a one-year contract extension with the club.[14] With most successful tackles and passes, Jahouh played a pivotol role in Goa's top of the league finish in the 2019–20 Indian Super League.[15]
