Midfielder Yuval Ashkenazi, 34, has officially signed with his tenth Israeli club, Maccabi Herzliya, marking his return to professional football after a period of inactivity. Ashkenazi, who previously played for teams including Bnei Yehuda, Maccabi Haifa, Maccabi Netanya, Bnei Sakhnin, and Beitar Jerusalem, will join the National League team.
Ashkenazi rose to prominence with Bnei Yehuda, where he was part of the squad that won the State Cup in 2019, scoring the winning penalty in the final against Maccabi Netanya. After leaving Beitar Jerusalem, he spent about a year without a team before rejoining Hapoel Kfar Shalem last October, the club where he first broke through.
Last season, Ashkenazi scored 4 goals in 21 appearances in the second division. He joins Maccabi Herzliya as a free agent, with the team currently struggling in 14th place in the National League, 10 points from 13 matches and two points below the relegation zone. His goal will be to help the team climb out of the bottom of the standings.
