Early life

Kreim was born in Casablanca, Morocco and moved to Montreal, Quebec at age seven.[1] He played youth soccer with FS Salaberry in Quebec.[2] He then joined their senior team in the top amateur division, Ligue de soccer élite du Québec, winning the LSEQ Ballon d'Or in 2016, while also attending the Université de Montréal, playing for the Carabins men's soccer team.[3] In 2017, he repeated as the LSEQ Ballon d'Or winner and also won the provincial university title with the Carabins.[4] In 2018, he captured the national title with the Carabins, earning MVP honours.[5] [6]

Club career

Shortly after graduating university, on 28 November 2019, Kreim signed his first professional contract with Canadian Premier League side HFX Wanderers.[7] However, his debut was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which postponed the start of the 2020 CPL season.[8] On August 30, he scored his first goal, scoring a free kick in stoppage time to earn his team a point in a 1-1 draw against York9 FC.[9] He re-signed with the club for the 2021 season.[10] He retired after the 2021 season, due to injury issues, after suffering a concussion early in the 2021 season.[11]
