Morocco international Rachid Alioui has joined Angers on a three-year deal from Ligue 1 rivals Nimes.
After three years with Nimes and following their relegation to Ligue 2, Alioui has sought greener pastures and will continue to play in the French top-flight next campaign.
The 27-year-old missed the early part of the 2018-19 season due to a hamstring injury, but was impressive on his return to action for the Stade des Costieres outfit with five goals in 31 outings.
The contract will keep him with Angers until 2022 and he will wear the no.
