Rising Star Signs Pro Deal with Al Hilal

Al Hilal fans are bracing for a fresh 'earthquake' this period, according to several late reports from trusted outlets today.

That report states Ali Al-Shammari, the son of former international striker Nasser Al-Shammari, has signed his first professional contract with Al Hilal for three years, today.

That step followed the technical staff's recommendation, given the striker's evident form with the under-17 squad and his pace and accuracy were highlighted today.

A Family Legacy and the Path Forward

Al-Shammari began his path with Hilal in the youth ranks, joining the academy at nine and climbing up to the under-17 team there.

The paper praised the young striker, noting his speed, precision, finishing, and heading ability — traits that his father, Nasser Al-Shammari, was famed for as the Earthquake.

From 2013 to 2017, Nasser Al-Shammari wore the crest for Al Hilal, playing 91 matches and scoring 56 goals, guiding the club to four titles: the Saudi League, King Cup, Super Cup, and Crown Prince Cup.

Punchline 1: Speed wins.

Punchline 2: Earthquake inbound.
