Career

Club career

Beginning his career at Ajax, where he spent a loan spell at Telstar, Boussatta also played for HFC Haarlem, FC Utrecht, AZ and SBV Excelsior in the Netherlands. Boussatta later played in England for Sheffield United – where he made 6 league appearances.^[1] Boussatta's last game for the Blades came in a 1-1 draw with Derby County at Bramall Lane on 23 March 2004. After replacing Peter Ndlovu on 67 minutes, Boussatta was brought off after 81 minutes to make way for Wayne Allison. Clearly furious, this proved to be Boussatta's last game for the Blades.

He later played in the U.A.E. for Al-Shaab.

International career

Boussatta earned three caps for the Netherlands between 1998 and 1999. He later played for Morocco in three unofficial games in 2001 and 2002.
