\n\u201cI\u2019m very happy about the contract extension of Yarin Abuhatzira,\u201d club owner Ross Kestin said. \u201cYarin is not only Maccabi Netanya\u2019s promising present, but also a central part of the future we are building here.

\nClub CEO Gil Lev added, \u201cI 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\u2019m 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\u2019s fans will enjoy as well.”
