Club career
Born in Givors, Rhône, Lemmouchia started his career at the age of 16 when he joined the Olympique Lyonnais academy, despite receiving interest from almost every club in France. He worked his way into the reserve squad. However, when his amateur contract expired he was not offered a professional deal and signed with amateur-club AS Moulins. A year later, he would join another amateur side, this time AS Lyon Duchère where he would spend the next 4 seasons.[1] In the summer of 2006, he quit AS Lyon Duchère and signed his first professional contract with Algerian side ES Setif.

On July 29, 2011, Lemmouchia signed a one-year contract with USM Alger. He made 27 appearances, scoring 1 goal, helping the club to a third-place finish in the 2011–12 Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 and a spot in the 2013 CAF Confederation Cup.

Lemmouchia played his first under-20 game against Libya in Algiers which they won 1-0. In his second and final game for the under-20's, the team was required to win the game otherwise their hopes of qualifying would be over. The team managed a 2-2 draw in the second leg of the game against Ghana, which ended their hopes of qualifying for the 2001 African Youth Championship, that was to be hosted in Ethiopia.
