He moved from Al Rayyan's youth teams to ASPIRE Academy in 2004, a year before it was officially inaugurated.[2]

Honors

Individual

QFA Best Player U-23

Winner (1): 2012
gollark: The UK is at least among the least worst ones and does lots of scientific research.

gollark: But bizarrely indirected and still referred to as debt everywhere even though something like 2/3 of the time it isn't paid off.
gollark: It's effectively a 30-year tax on graduate incomes.
gollark: Also, the UK's situation with universities is vaguely weird, because student debt doesn't actually work like other debt.
