Saudi second-tier side NEOM SC has made a significant signing in veteran defender Ahmed Hegazi.
The 33-year-old Egyptian joins the club after his contract with Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League was terminated by mutual consent.
Hegazi boasts experience in both the English Premier League with West Bromwich Albion and the Saudi top flight with Al-Ittihad.
While NEOM SC kept the details of the deal under wraps, Hegazi’s arrival signifies their ambition to challenge for promotion.
His leadership and defensive skills will be crucial for NEOM SC as they navigate the competitive Saudi second division.
