Career
Taguelmint began his career in the French lower leagues, playing for Toulouse Football Club B, United States Marignane and GS Consolat, before moving to Algeria to play for USM Alger. He plays as a midfielder. On 10 October 2011 Taguelmint was banned indefinitely for USM Alger after assaulting a journalist and didn"t play until 17 December 2011.
He currently plays for GS Consolat, having been released by USM Alger in January 2012.
Taguelmint started his senior career with Toulouse Football Club"s reserve side, in the Championnat de France amateur, France"s fourth division. He played for the club in the 2007-2008 season, before moving on to United States Marignane in the same division.
He played ten games for Marignane, scoring one goal, before signing for fifth division side GS Consolat ahead of the 2009-2010 season. Taguelmint stayed at Consolat until the end of the 2010-2011 season, when he joined Algerian club USM Alger in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1, signing a two-year contract.
Taguelmint was given the no.21 shirt upon joining the club but was also told he needed to lose five kilograms before the start of the 2011-2012 season.
He made his second appearance for the club in a 2–1 loss to Military Cross El Eulma on 1 October 2011, again coming on as a late substitute. Apparently unfazed by his lack of playing time, in December 2011 Taguelmint stated "I will not leave the club this winter", despite fellow Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 club Washington Tlemcen reportedly being interested in signing the player on loan. However, on 10 January 2012, with just three appearances to his name, Taguelmint and USM Alger agreed to terminate his contract, making him a free agent.
Taguelmint also received compensation from the club
On 28 April Taguelmint was sent-off in Consolat"s 0–0 draw at Rodez Air Force, being dismissed for a second bookable offence in injury time. Consequently, the midfielder had to wait until 19 May for his next league appearance for the club, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 loss to United States Colomiers.
After the USM Alger team bus was held up on the way to an away match against Military Cross El Eulma on 1 October 2011, due to an army truck being attacked by terrorists, Algerian journalist Fouzi Kenouche wrote an article claiming Taguelmint had been "very frightened" and the "most scared" of the club"s players. Taguelmint was angered and offended by these claims, and when Kenouche visited USM Alger"s training ground on 6 November 2011, soon after the article was published, Taguelmint assaulted him, dealing a series of blows to the face.
Kenouche claimed to have gathered his information from other sources, and was therefore surprised by Taguelmint"s attack.
He later decided to press charges for assault. USM Alger"s disciplinary committee met on 10 October 2011 and soon afterwards released a statement announcing that Taguelmint had been banned indefinitely and fined an undisclosed amount. He finally re-appeared for the club in December 2011.
Although he was born in Rognac in France, Taguelmint grew up in Bejaïa in the north of Algeria.
While playing for USM Alger he lived in Alger Plage in Algiers, the capital.
