Ironi Kiryat Shmona continues to build its squad ahead of the 2026/27 Israeli Premier League season. Following a strong previous season, the northern club, coached by Shai Berada, aims to improve further by strengthening its roster. On July 2, 2026, the club announced the signing of 26-year-old attacking midfielder Avagu Assefa. Assefa joins from Hapoel Ra'anana, where he spent the last two seasons under coach Nitzan Damari, contributing seven goals across all competitions. The club signed Assefa to a one-year contract with an option for an additional year after he impressed the coaching staff during recent trials. The management highlighted that Assefa will bolster the team's midfield and attacking options as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
