Maccabi Netanya Youth Striker Ben Tao Joins Dutch Club Heracles for Trial
Ben Tao, an 18-year-old striker from Maccabi Netanya's youth team, is set to join Dutch second division club Heracles Almelo for a trial starting Tuesday. Standing 1.92 meters tall, Tao impressed last season by scoring eight goals in the youth league. He began his football journey at Beitar Tubruk, moved through Maccabi Petah Tikva's youth system, and returned several times between these clubs before settling at Maccabi Netanya.
Heracles' official website described Tao as a physically strong forward under contract with Maccabi Netanya, highlighting his reputation as an excellent finisher and noting his experience with Israel's youth national teams. This move follows a growing trend of young Israeli players seeking early opportunities abroad to advance their careers.
The trial at Heracles represents a significant step for Tao as he attempts to establish himself in European football and potentially secure a permanent transfer to the Dutch club.
