Mehdi Baaloudj has left Versailles, a National league team, to join Clermont in Ligue 2. Following a rather successful season at Versailles, where he scored 8 goals in 25 matches, the 23-year-old versatile striker has already moved on from National. Baaloudj has signed with Clermont, who were in search of a center forward even after the transfer window closed on the evening of August 30th. He has committed to a one-season contract with an option to extend beyond June 30th of next year. Having been relegated to Ligue 2, Clermont will aim to compete for promotion.
