Orel Dgani Leaves Hapoel Petah Tikva for Ashdod on Near Double Salary
Orel Dgani, a defender, bid farewell to his teammates at Hapoel Petah Tikva on Thursday morning after refusing to train the previous day. He is set to join Ashdod, with the club's management, led by Omer Peretz, also working to secure Itay Ben Shabat. Roy Zrihan, a defender from Rishon LeZion, remains a potential acquisition.
Dgani explained his decision to leave, stating he received a two-year contract with the National League team offering nearly double his previous salary. He believes this move is the best for his future.
Meanwhile, Hapoel Petah Tikva is awaiting a visa for new striker Eric Ibebila, who has already agreed to terms. The club also stated they will not stand in the way of Guy Badash if he finds a team willing to take over his contract. Badash, who joined in the summer, has not integrated well professionally, according to the coaching staff, and has not played in the last two games.
In preparation for the upcoming match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Peretz may deploy a three-man defense, with Stav Israeli potentially playing alongside Diego Arrio and Alex Musonda.
