QSL new boys Al Markhiya have further strengthened their side ahead of their return to the QSL with the signing of former Al Rayyan defender Mosaab Mahmoud.

The club unveiled the former Qatar international player on Wednesday evening, with the 34 year old defender penning a one year deal with the side. Mosaab has also been handed the number three shirt, in the presence of club officals. The signing of Mosaab has capped off a busy week for the newly promoted team, which completed the signing of Iraqi defender Rebin Sulaka earlier on the week.

Also present at the contract signing was Markhiya’s football manager Mujibar Hamad, who exclusively revealed the details of the clubs preseason training plans. “This season our preseason camp will be held in Bulgaria from the 21^st of August till the 5^th of September. We are hoping that this will give us plenty of time to prepare for the long QSL season ahead.”
