He continued through the youth ranks of AC Ajaccio before moving down to then Championnat club, AS Cannes.{{cite news |first=Hadas |last=Greenberg |script-title=he:עטר לשחקנים: אל תתייחסו למה שקורה סביבי |trans-title=Atar To Players: Don't Pay Attention To What Is Going On Around You |url=http://www.nrg.co.il/online/3/ART1/716/394.html |newspaper=Ma'ariv |date=2008-03-21 |accessdate=13 September 2009 |language=Hebrew }}

= Arrival to Israel=

Assous arrived in Israel after his brother spent a season with Maccabi Tel Aviv and joined the Maccabi Netanya youth team for a trial. After impressing during a training match between the youth and full teams, Assous was signed by Netanya to a three-year contract starting at $40,000 a year.{{cite news |first=Arik |last=Rahmian |author2=Rosenthal, David |script-title=he:מכבי נתניה מעוניינת במשה אוחיון |trans-title=Maccabi Netanya Interested in Moshe Ohayon |url=http://sports.walla.co.il/?w=//1277027 |publisher=Walla! |date=2008-05-06 |accessdate=13 September 2009 |language=Hebrew }} Within a short time of Lothar Matthäus's arrival to Maccabi Netanya, he decided to release Assous from his contract without even seeing Assous in training.

After being released by Netanya, Assous trialled with Maccabi Ahi Nazareth.{{cite news |first=Hen |last=Michelle |script-title=he:מכבי נתניה ניצחה את אחי נצרת 0:2, צפו בתקציר |trans-title=Maccabi Netanya Beats Ahi Nazareth 2:0 |url=http://coop2.one.co.il/Cat/Articles/Article.aspx?id=120905&Bz=1&categoryid=1&tableid=18 |publisher=One.co.il |date=2008-08-02 |accessdate=13 September 2009 |language=Hebrew |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721140831/http://coop2.one.co.il/Cat/Articles/Article.aspx?id=120905&Bz=1&categoryid=1&tableid=18 |archivedate=21 July 2011 }}
