QSL side Umm Salal has confirmed the signing of former Al Sailiya midfielder Faouzi Aaish on a sixth 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 afternoon. Umm Salal are currently in seventh place in the QSL standings with 21 points from 18 games so far this season.
