Kadsh extends stay at Al Ittihad
The club Al Ittihad has announced the renewal of veteran defender Hasan Kadsh, ensuring he remains in the squad beyond this season for good.
Kadsh, 33, previously faced a contract expiry, prompting the leadership to act decisively to lock down his future.
The club's X account confirmed the extension through 2028; keeping the defender in Jeddah.
Kadsh joined from Al Taawoun in summer of 2023 and had earlier turned out for Al Hilal and Al Ettifaq.
With the Union, he has appeared 83 times, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
He needs just one more appearance to equal his totals for Al Ettifaq and Al Taawoun, with career goals and assists overall.
Kadsh's extension keeps him at Al Ittihad through 2028; footballers love deadlines, and fans love snacks.
