Al Jazira goalkeeper Abdulrahman Al Ameri has signed a new deal with the club, keeping him at the Pride of Abu Dhabi until at least 2025.
\nStarting off at the age of six at Al Jazira\u2019s school affiliated programs, the talented shot stopper has been part of the club\u2019s academy since the age of 10, representing the side throughout each age bracket and becoming one of the club\u2019s most promising talents.
\nThe 22-year old made his first team debut when he was just 20-years old, playing in the Arabian Gulf League against Emirates Club and has since represented the UAE national team at Under-23 level.
\nPart of a generation of players currently starring in the first team this season such as Khalifa Al Hammadi and Abdullah Ramadan, Al Ameri was part of the Al Jazira youth teams which were consistently crowned champions of the UAE FA leagues at the U-10, 11 and 12 age groups. He also captained the U-17 Al Jazira side in their Hazza Bin Zayed tournament win back in 2015, while also bagging the best goalkeeper of the tournament award.
\nSpeaking on his new deal, Group CEO Ali Youssef Al Hammadi stated: \u201cAbdulrahman is one of the club\u2019s most exciting young prospects and it is always a special moment when our youth players progress to the first team. He has been with us from a young age and through our academy pathway he has developed into a fine player and young man and we are very proud of him.\u201d
\nChairperson and board member of Al Jazira\u2019s sporting committee H.E. Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, said: \u201cAt Al Jazira, we place great faith and trust in our academy players. We continue to invest in our young players, and Abdulrahman is part of a special generation of players who are key members of our squad this season.
\n\u201cWe are all very happy to secure Abdulrahman\u2019s future with us and all look forward to what he will continue to achieve in his great and promising career so far.\u201d
\nSporting Director Mads Davidsen added: \u201cAbdulrahman has a promising future ahead of him and we are happy that he will be here with us at Al Jazira. He is still a young goalkeeper under development coming from our academy and is working every day with our goalkeeper coach Manuel Almunia, who is doing a great job with all our keepers.
\n\u201cWith this contract he can focus on improving and taking the next steps.\u201d
