Former Maccabi Haifa Player Trials with Promoted Hapoel Ramat Gan Ahead of Premier League Return
Hapoel Ramat Gan, newly promoted to the Israeli Premier League after 13 years, is actively preparing for the 2025/26 season by strengthening its squad. Among the players currently on trial is Yuval Ashkenazi, a former player of several top-tier and second-division clubs including Maccabi Haifa, who played last season for Kfar Shalem. Ashkenazi's potential signing would add experience to the team as they face their first season back in the top flight.
In addition to Ashkenazi, Hapoel Ramat Gan is continuing negotiations with Moshe Semel, a Hungarian league player. Semel played only 604 minutes this past season for Puskás Akadémia, and the club is considering adding him to their roster. These moves reflect the club's ongoing efforts to build a competitive squad for the upcoming season in the Premier League.
