Abdeldjelil was born in Algeria, and moved to France at the age of 6. He began playing football with local clubs Belligny and FC Villefranche[3] before moving to semi-professional teams in France and Algeria.[4]
On 8 January 2019, Abdeldjelil signed a professional contract with Red Star F.C in the French Ligue 2, after beginning the season as the top scorer in the Championnat National with SO Cholet.[5] He made his professional debut with Red Star in a 1–0 Ligue 2 win over RC Lens on 14 January 2019 scoring the only and game-winning goal.[6]
In the summer of 2019, Abdeldjelil signed for neighbouring Ligue 2 club Paris FC after Red Star were relegated at the end of the 2018–19 Ligue 2 season.[7] With no goals in 14 appearances, he left the club and returned to Cholet in January 2020.[8]
