Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Harambee Stars striker Masoud Juma has signed for Saudi Arabia second tier side Al-Faisaly FC on a long-term deal. Masud joins from Moroccan club Difaa Hassani El Jadidi, after his contract expired.<\/p>\n

Masoud, who was loaned to Al-Faisaly during the 2022\/2023 season, managed 16 goals in 56 appearances for El Jadidi since joining them 2020. Masoud, 26, previously played for Shabana, Sony Sugar and Bandari.<\/p>\n

He made his mark at Kariobangi Sharks during the 2017\/2018 season where he emerged the Kenyan Premier League top scorer with 24 goals.<\/p>\n

Masoud has also had stints in South Africa with Cape Town City, and the middle East with Dibba Al-Fujairah.<\/p>\n

He will now be playing in the Saudi Professional League, the same competition where celebrated serial-winner Cristiano Ronaldo is turning up for Al Nassir.<\/p>\n

Al-Faisaly FC, who are based in Harmah City, are fifth in the league with 34 points from 18 games.<\/p>\n

Masoud is not new to Arab football, having made stop overs at Libyan side Al-Nasr Benghazi and Algerian giants JS Kabylie. Masoud made his senior international debut for Kenya in June 2017, against Sierra Leone in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match.<\/p>\n

He was part of the national team to AFCON 2019, even though he never made an appearance as Kenya bowed out in the group stage.<\/p>\n
