in April 2012.
Early career Born in
Toulouse, France, Cherfa played youth football with
AS Monaco FC, but only appeared for its
reserve team as a senior. After playing with
CS Louhans-Cuiseaux in the lower leagues he signed with
Ligue 2 club
Stade de Reims in the summer of 2007, before going on to represent also in the competition
CS Sedan Ardennes and
LB Châteauroux.
Omonia In 2011, Cherfa joined
AC Omonia in the
Cypriot First Division, after fellow league side
Ermis Aradippou FC did not have the financial means to complete the transfer. At the end of
the campaign he returned to Omonia, who had just lost fellow stoppers
Christos Karipidis and
Savo Pavićević to other clubs, but Panthrakikos contested that the agreement ended sooner than it should have. After failing to negotiate a new contract with a smaller wage, due to Omonia's financial situation, Cherfa was made to train alone, and was eventually linked to
OFI even though the former stated it did not have the intention of releasing him. After the team
failed to perform in their
UEFA Europa League campaign, both defensively and overall, a new round of talks started, and he eventually put pen to paper to a new three-year deal.
Later years On 15 January 2016, four days after being released by Panthrakikos, Cherfa signed a two-year contract with
Algerian club
CS Constantine. Two years later, the
free agent agreed to a one-year deal at Italian amateurs
Abano Calcio. Cherfa returned to the Cypriot top level on 27 July 2018, joining
Alki Oroklini for
one season. On 18 August 2019, he joined
Akritas Chlorakas. ==International==
