He also played for the Assumption Greyhounds in 2013 while he was working on a master's degree in rehabilitation counseling. Professional career
Mourtada played in four games for the Wichita Falls Nighthawks in 2015. He then signed with the Las Vegas Outlaws in the team's only season of operation in 2015 and played in one game for the team before moving back to Foxborough in August of that year. He worked out for the Cleveland Browns in 2017, but was not offered a contract by the team. He later signed with the expansion Massachusetts Pirates on February 21, 2018, and was the team's primary kicker that year. He did not play in 2019 or 2020, but returned to play for the Pirates in 2021 following an injury to their kicker. On August 30, 2021, it was announced that Mourtada had signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers following an injury to the team's incumbent placekicker, Tyler Crapigna. Following mixed results from the team's replacement kicker, Marc Liegghio, Mourtada was activated for the September 18, 2021 game against the Edmonton Elks. While he was successful on all four of his convert attempts, he missed all three of his field goal tries, missing from 28 yards, 51 yards, and 44 yards. He made his first field goal in the following game against the BC Lions on October 1, 2021. On November 21, 2022, Mourtada became a free agent. Personal life
