On the 24 August 2010 Fulham FC confirmed the signing of Rafik Halliche on a three year deal for an undisclosed fee which will see the player at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2013.
Halliche started his football career at his hometown club, NA Hussein Dey, at the age of 18. He joined from Benfica having signed for the Portuguese side in 2008 and spent two seasons on loan to fellow Portuguese team, C.D Nacional of Madeira.
Halliche has made over 20 appearances for Algeria since his debut against Senegal in May 2008 and played in the World Cup play-off match against Egypt resulting in a 1-0 win and World Cup qualification for his country for the first time in 24 years.
He played every minute of Algeria’s matches during the 2010 World Cup Finals which included the goalless draw against England in Cape Town.
Rafik made his debut for Fulham on the 21st September 2010 - replacing Stephen Kelly after 84 minutes at the Britannia Stadium against Stoke in the Carling Cup.
The defender's opportunities have been few and far between over the past few seasons, due to the outstanding form of Brede Hangeland and Aaron Hughes in central defence.
