The 22-year-old Fathi is following in the footsteps of Egypt’s veteran goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary who has just joined Al-Taawoun on a one-season deal from Egypt’s Wadi Degla.

Fathi will be the fourth Egyptian player in the Saudi league besides El-Hadary, Ahly’s defender Mohamed Abdel-Shafy and Ittihad’s winger Mahmoud Kahraba.
