Southend United
In August 2010, Bouzid moved to England to sign with Southend United of League Two, as one of seventeen new signings. This move came despite difficulties in securing his transfer from the Moroccan club, after delays in getting the necessary paperwork from the Moroccan government. He made his debut for the club in the Football League Trophy in their goalless First Round encounter with Gillingham at Roots Hall, he was replaced by Louie Soares at half-time before Southend went on to win 4–3 on penalties. On 26 October 2010, Bouzid suffered a head injury in a reserve team game against Colchester United which required emergency surgery to his skull. On 14 January 2011, Bouzid went on a week-long trial with Scottish club Ross County. However, he did not do enough to impress manager Willie McStay and returned to Southend. In May 2011 he was one of five players told they were to be released by Southend.
