Club career

Burnley

He quickly became a fan favourite due to his skilful style, and soon had his own chant to the tune of Heartbeat.[4] He scored his first goal for Burnley in a 4–0 win against Swansea City on 15 October 2022.[5] Zaroury scored the second and third goals as Burnley beat Bournemouth in the third round of the FA Cup in January 2023.[6] On 11 August 2023, Zaroury received a red card against Manchester City in the first Premier League game of his career.[7]
Hull City (loan)

After five minutes, his right-footed shot hit the bar, with Jaden Philogene on hand to push home the rebound.[9] On 20 February, Zaroury scored his first goal for Hull, as a part of their 2–1 away win against Southampton.[10] On 21 May 2024, Burnley announced the player would be returning once the loan ended.[11]
Lens
[edit]On 22 August 2024, Zaroury signed for Ligue 1 club Lens on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[12][13]
International career

On 16 November 2022, Zaroury was officially invited to join the Moroccan national team, during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar,[15][16] in which he replaced Amine Harit, who suffered an injury one week before the World Cup started.[17][18][19] On 17 November, he made his international debut in a friendly match against Georgia.[20]
