Nigerian midfielder Usman Mohammed has joined Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Bnei Reineh after departing Ironi Tiberias, Naija Footy reports.
Mohammed aims to make an immediate impact as he starts a new chapter in Israel, building on a positive spell with his previous club. He arrives at Maccabi Bnei Reineh following a notable season with Ironi Tiberias in 2025/26.
At 32, he played in 21 league matches and scored once from midfield, contributing significantly to the team’s efforts during a challenging campaign in the Israeli Premier League. While he didn’t register any assists, his experience and calm presence in midfield secured him a regular starting position.
As per Transfermarkt, the former Super Eagles player is valued at €200,000. His adaptability is a key strength, being able to play as a central, defensive, or attacking midfielder, providing his new team with crucial tactical options.
Mohammed’s career has taken him through various countries, including Norway, Russia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Israel. He has represented Nigeria at youth levels and earned three senior caps for the Super Eagles, bringing substantial international and club experience to Maccabi Bnei Reineh.
The club sees Mohammed as an important addition to their midfield for the upcoming season. They anticipate his leadership qualities, technical skills, and experience will reinforce the squad as they aim to improve on last season’s performance in the Israeli top flight.
For Mohammed, this move offers another chance to extend his impressive career while remaining competitive at the highest domestic level in Israel. A strong performance with Maccabi Bnei Reineh could not only boost his reputation but also increase his market value as he continues to demonstrate his capabilities in European football.
