Sellouf played for local Nijmegen club RKSV Brakkenstein before moving to the youth academy of NEC in 2014. In 2019, he signed his first professional contract, a two-year deal.[3] He made his senior debut for the club on 19 August 2019, in a 3–3 away draw against Jong Ajax. Sellouf came on as a substitute for Jellert Van Landschoot in the 81st minute.[2] In the 7–1 away win over Telstar on 7 February 2020, Sellouf scored his first goal for the club, also as a substitute.[4]

On 23 May 2021, Sellouf won promotion to the Eredivisie with NEC by beating NAC Breda 2–1 in the final of the play-offs.[5] His contract expired at the end of the season.[6]

On 6 August 2021, after a successful trial, FC Utrecht announced that they had signed Sellouf on a two-year contract that would run until 2023, with the option of a further year. He was assigned to the reserve team for the 2021–22 season, competing in the second-tier Eerste Divisie.[7][8] There, he made his debut on 13 August in a 1–1 draw away at Yanmar Stadion against Almere City.[9] On 29 October, he scored his first goal for the team by volleying in a cross from Julliani Eersteling in 2–1 loss to FC Den Bosch.[10]
