Yuliwes Bellache has signed a two-year contract with Clermont Foot on June 29, 2025. The 22-year-old Algerian, a product of the club's academy, returns after two years gaining valuable experience in both Europe and Africa.

Clermont Foot brings back a former player to its ranks. Yuliwes Bellache has convinced the Clermont management to place their long-term trust in him. After signing his first professional contract with Clermont in 2022, Bellache was loaned out to Austria Lustenau in Austria. At the end of that loan spell, the Auvergne club parted ways with the Algerian, who then returned to his homeland.

His stint in North Africa was hampered by injuries, preventing him from establishing himself. Back in Auvergne in January 2025, he initially joined the reserve team in National 3, where he made a strong impression by scoring five goals in eight matches. His performances quickly earned him a spot in the professional squad as early as April.

"This second signing here feels a bit like redemption. The first time, I couldn't establish myself in the squad, but this time, I hope things will be different. I'll do everything I can. I'm coming back with more maturity," said Yuliwes Bellache.
