Career

edit

Having joined Grenoble in 2006 Ayari was promoted to the senior team by former manager Yvon Pouliquen ahead of the 2009–10 season.[2][3] He made his senior debut on 10 September 2010 in a Ligue 2 match against Istres appearing as a substitute in a 1–0 victory.[4]

Released at the end of his contract with Grenoble, Ayari signed for Metz in September 2011, on an initial one-year deal, with the option to extend for two further years.[5] He was released at the end of the season, when Metz were relegated to the Championnat National.[6] Without a club, he returned to Grenoble to train. The club were now playing at the amateur level, so he had to wait until 1 October 2012 before signing a contract, due to regulations about reclassifying professional players as amateur.[7]

After four seasons with Grenoble, Ayari signed with AS Lyon-Duchère in the Championnat National in June 2016, having been linked with various Ligue 2 sides.[8] Lyon-Duchère rebranded as Sporting Club Lyon in June 2020.

On 22 June 2021, he agreed to join Sedan in Championnat National.[9] On 17 December 2022, Ayari announced his retirement.[10]
