Qatar Stars League (QSL) side Umm Salal has confirmed the signing of former Al Sailiya midfielder Faouzi Aaish on a six-month deal.
The Bahrain international was formally announced via the clubs social media account, with Aaish expected to replace Brazilian midfielder Alef as the side’s fourth professional player.
It has been a relatively busy January transfer window for the Orange Fortress, with Aaish being the second player signed by the club after Syrian striker Mahmoud Al-Mawas joined at the start of the year.
Aaish will now join up with his new team-mates and is expected to be in contention for his new sides match against Al Kharaitiyat on Saturday.
Umm Salal are currently in seventh place in the QSL standings with 21 points from 18 games so far this season.
Meanwhile, Al Sailiya has announced the loan signing of El Jaish defender Mohammed Jumaa for the remainder of the season.
Jumaa had previously been on loan at Al Arabi during the first half of the season, but has now opted to head to Al Sailiya.
