Sa'ar Padida Signs with M.S. Ashdod for Upcoming Season
Sa'ar Padida, a 29-year-old midfielder, officially signed with M.S. Ashdod on August 27, 2026, for the upcoming season, with an option for an additional year. Padida previously played last season for Hapoel Haifa and Maccabi Bnei Reineh. This move marks his return to the Israeli National League for the first time since 2019, when he was loaned to Hapoel Rishon LeZion from Hapoel Haifa.
Padida also had a brief stint abroad during the 2023/24 season with Olimpija Ljubljana, where he scored three goals in 34 appearances. The majority of his career was spent at Hapoel Haifa, where he played 110 matches, scored three goals, and provided five assists. His signing with M.S. Ashdod represents a new chapter as he steps back into the National League after several years in the Premier League and overseas.
