Bouazza was chased by three masked men, leading to a confrontation outside of his home. He left the club after his contract expired at the end of the season, and had a trial with Scottish side Rangers in the summer of 2013. Later career In December 2013 he made his debut for Algerian side ES Sétif and made three further appearances before leaving to join Championnat National team Red Star. He appeared in 80 matches and scored 20 goals across three seasons, with the majority coming in Ligue 2 following Red Star's promotion in Bouazza's debut season. In January 2017, Bouazza joined Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 side Étoile du Sahel.
