Soufian El Hassnaoui (born 28 October 1989) is a Dutch-Moroccan professional footballer who played recently for IR Tanger, as a striker. He has previously played for Dutch sides De Graafschap and Sparta Rotterdam, and the Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian.
Born in Ede, Netherlands and raised there, El Hassnaoui began playing youth football for local side De Graafschap. Then in November 2008, El Hassaoui signed his first professional contract with the club, keeping him until 2010.
El Hassnaoui made his De Graadschap debut, where he came on as a substitute for Steve De Ridder in the 84th minutes, in a 3-0 win over Eindhoven. He then made three appearance, which saw his contract extended until 2012. Five days after signing a contract, El Hassanaoui scored his first De Graadschap (the reserve) goal, in a 1-0 win over Cambuur in the second round of KNVB Cup. However, El Hassnaoui suffered an arm injury that kept him out for weeks. After making his return to the first team against Telsar on 8 February 2010, El Hassnaoui scored his first De Graadschap league goal, in a 3-2 loss against Emmen four days later. El Hassaoui later added four more goals later this season against Excelsior,VolendamOmniworld and AGOVV. In his first season which saw De Graafschap promoted to Eredivisie, El Hassnaoui made twenty-two appearance and scoring five times.
The 2010-11 season saw El Hassnaoui made four appearance for the club before suffering a knee injury, which he sustained a match against Jong FC Groningen and was out for six to eight months. Upon recovering from injury, El Hassnaoui declared himself fit, though he needs to train to regain his fitness ahead of the new season.
