Yarin Abuhatzira and Maccabi Netanya Football Club have agreed on a contract extension through the 2030 season. The 16-year old starlet, who grew up and developed in the club’s youth academy, will continue to wear the iconic yellow-and-black kit and will serve as a key contributor for the team both now and in the future.

“I’m very happy about the contract extension of Yarin Abuhatzira,” club owner Ross Kestin said. “Yarin is not only Maccabi Netanya’s promising present, but also a central part of the future we are building here. Seeing a player who grew up and developed in our youth academy continue with us is a great source of pride for the club and proof of the path we believe in. This signing reflects Maccabi Netanya’s ambitions and vision for the years ahead.”

Club CEO Gil Lev added, “I would like to thank Reut and Shimon Abuhatzira for entrusting Yarin to us for the coming years and for their confidence in the professional path we have mapped out for him. My heartfelt thanks to Roni Levy for leading the professional project in which Yarin is set to find his place. The negotiations, accompanied by Nir Amir, were conducted in a friendly manner and with a shared goal and I’m delighted that they were completed with great success. From here, we are confident that, with the support of the professional staff, we will enjoy a shared journey together, one that Maccabi Netanya’s fans will enjoy as well.”
