Iranian midfielder Omid Ebrahimi has joined professional Qatari football club Al Ahli, which is currently playing in the Persian Gulf kingdom’s first tier of football league competition – known as Qatar Stars League.

According to a report published by Qatari sports media outlets, the 30-year-old Iranian footballer signed a two-year contract with Al Ahli in Doha on Monday evening. No information about the value of the deal was immediately available.

Ebrahimi will reportedly replace his countryman Pejman Montazeri in Al Ahli.

The Iranian soccer player started his career with Esteghlal Dargahan football club.

Ebrahimi then joined Shahrdari Bandar Abbas, which competes in the second highest division of professional football in Iran – known as the Azadegan League, before joining Sepahan in 2010.

He later moved to Esteghlal after finalizing a two-year contract with the Tehran-based club on June 10, 2014.
