Bougherra joined English Championship club Crewe Alexandra on loan at the end of January 2006.[3] He managed to get into the Crewe record books as his agent, Charles Collymore recommended the Algerian defender to the South Cheshire club and was given £5,000 by the club, making him the first agent to receive a fee from Crewe.[4]

After a number of impressive performances, including a goal in the 4–1 win over Coventry City,[5] many of the club's supporters urged then manager Dario Gradi to sign Bougherra on a permanent basis. However, in April 2006, he confirmed he would leave Crewe at the end of his loan spell after failing to help the club avoid relegation to League One.[6]

Bougherra's performances at Crewe had attracted interest from a number of clubs in England, including some from the Premier League.

The fee was undisclosed, but according to manager Paul Sturrock it was not as much as the reported £300,000.[7] Bougherra made a big impact at Hillsborough after making his debut on 5 August against Preston North End, winning the Player of the Month award in only his second month at the club and captaining the team for the first time against Queens Park Rangers at home in October.
