Capable of playing in central midfield or central defence, Jalil made the move to English shores in the summer of 2018.

Although born in France, Saadi, who was formerly with Toulouse, has represented Morocco at youth level.

The teenager joined up with Morocco's Under-20s side for a week-long training camp at the National Football Centre “Maamoura” in Rabat back in 2018, and Rovers and the national team have high hopes for the youngster.

Saadi had been named in the Under-21s squads on a regular basis since but is still waiting for his senior debut.

In a bid for first-team action, Saadi agreed a season-long loan move to Cypriot side Ethnikos Achna in August 2024.
