Touré finished the season with five goals from 28 games, just like last{{clarify|date=September 2024}} season MO Béjaïa fell to the second division so that he had to search for another club because the law prohibits foreign players from playing in the second division.

Later in the next round he played his first match as a starter against MC Oran in 1–1 draw.
