Maccabi Petah Tikva Signs Promising 20-Year-Old Noam Shemesh
Maccabi Petah Tikva, recently promoted to the Israeli Premier League, announced the signing of 20-year-old attacking midfielder Noam Shemesh on July 6, 2026. Shemesh signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional two years, reflecting the club's long-term plans.
Shemesh developed through the youth systems of Maccabi Haifa and Beitar Jerusalem before moving to Hapoel Hadera, where he played both for the youth and senior teams. Over the past two seasons, he stood out in the youth league, scoring double-digit goals each season, including 15 goals in the last National Youth League campaign.
This acquisition is part of Maccabi Petah Tikva's preparations for competing in the top tier of Israeli football in the 2026/27 season, aiming to strengthen their squad with young talent.
