Anouar Ait El Hadj is a Belgian attacking midfielder, born on 20 April 2002 (age 24). Compact at 5ft 7in (1.69m), he plays mainly as a central attacking midfielder for Union Saint-Gilloise, wearing the number 10 shirt.
He first came through at Anderlecht, where his best league return came in 2020-21: three goals in 22 appearances. That remains the clearest early marker of his senior promise, without needing to dress it up as anything more dramatic.
At Union Saint-Gilloise, he has remained part of the first-team picture. In 2026-27, he has made 20 appearances across all competitions and scored four goals, including two in the Pro League Play-Offs. His form this season has been strong and consistent, which keeps him relevant in the current side rather than merely hanging around the squad.
Ait El Hadj is still a developing established professional: Belgian, technical, and used through the middle, with his strongest current work coming at Union Saint-Gilloise after his early years at Anderlecht.
