Saudi club Al-Taawoun has officially announced the signing of Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah on a free transfer, marking a significant addition to their squad. Hamdallah, 35, joins from Al-Shabab after his contract expired, bringing a wealth of experience and goal-scoring prowess to his new team.

The club welcomed their new forward, referred to as "El Satti," expressing excitement for a new chapter. Al-Taawoun's management aims to significantly strengthen their attack with this signing, preparing for a demanding season that includes the Saudi Pro League, the King's Cup, and the AFC Champions League 2.

Previously, Hamdallah played for Al-Shabab starting in July 2024, where he scored 31 goals in 45 appearances across various competitions and provided six assists. His previous stint was with Al-Ittihad, where he also left a significant mark.
