Career
El Gaaouiri began his professional career in 2001 at Fortuna Sittard. The first season he played very few games, but in the next couple of seasons he played 48 matches, in which he scores 5 goals. FC Utrecht signed him in 2004 as their new hope for the future. He only played 8 matches, though, and therefore he signed with FC Volendam, where he played all 38 matches and scored 11 goals. Unluckily for FC Volendam he was only hired, and he had to go back to FC Utrecht. Because there were no chances of playing for FC Utrecht, he went to HFC Haarlem on loan. There, he played 28 matches and scored only 3 goals. Since 2007, he has been playing for VVV-Venlo, where he has hit his good form. He is currently on trial at N-power League one club AFC Bournemouth.
