Yahav Gorfinkel Eyed for Return to Maccabi Haifa After Cyprus Stint
Israeli left-back Yahav Gorfinkel is reportedly a candidate to rejoin Maccabi Haifa, the club where he began his youth career. Gorfinkel was officially released by Cypriot club AEK Larnaca after just half a season. AEK Larnaca announced the mutual termination of Gorfinkel's contract, thanking him for his contributions and wishing him success.
Gorfinkel, a product of Maccabi Haifa's youth academy, previously had loan spells at Hapoel Nazareth Illit, Hapoel Hadera, and Hapoel Haifa. He also played abroad for Norrköping in Sweden and had stints with Chengdu and Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel.
In January, Gorfinkel moved to AEK Larnaca, making six league appearances and two in the Conference League last season. This season, he played in two Conference League qualifying matches against Beitar Jerusalem.
His potential return to Maccabi Haifa would be as a free agent. Gorfinkel's career has seen him play for several Israeli clubs and experience international football before his recent move to Cyprus.
