Club career

Inverness Caledonian Thistle

Elbouzedi joined Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a free transfer deal in the summer of 2017 from West Bromwich Albion[2].

After working himself back to match fitness by playing for Elgin City,[5] Elbouzedi made his professional debut for Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 13 March 2018 against Dunfermline Athletic.[6]

Zak left Inverness on 31 August 2018, after terminating his contract by mutual consent after an injury ravaged previous season and only playing in one game in the 2018–19 season, which was a League Cup win over Cove Rangers.[7]

Elbouzedi has represented the Republic of Ireland at youth international level.[1]
