Jaouen Hadjam

Jaouen Hadjam of Brighton & Hove Albion was born in Paris, France on 26 March 2003 (age 23).

Jaouen Hadjam, born on 26 March 2003 (age 23), is an Algeria international left-back with Brighton & Hove Albion. His current market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His clearest club impact so far came at Young Boys. In 2023–24 he had his most productive league season, scoring two goals in 15 appearances, a decent return from full-back without needing the usual full-back inflation. In 2026–27, he made three league appearances for the Swiss side.

Hadjam has also been involved with Algeria this season, making three World Cup appearances and five in African World Cup qualifying, scoring once. At club level, he is still in the early stretch of his senior career, with Brighton the latest point in a pathway built around steady first-team exposure rather than noise.

In the 2026–27 season Hadjam recorded three appearances and zero goals for Young Boys prior to his August 2026 transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion – the limited match tally at Young Boys contrasts with a substantial €9,500,000 fee, suggesting Brighton acquired him as a valued left back option rather than a mid-season first-choice starter.
