Qatar Stars League outfit Al Ahli SC has officially announced the acquisition of former Super Eagles skipper William Troost-Ekong. The seasoned defender makes the move to Doha from Saudi Pro League side Al Kholood, where he recently concluded a successful stint. Troost-Ekong committed his future to the Qatari club by signing a long-term contract that runs through June 2028.
The 32-year-old center-back retains his signature number five jersey as he begins this new chapter in the Middle East. During his time with Al Kholood, the Nigerian international featured in 49 matches and contributed two goals to the team’s cause. Al Ahli management expects Troost-Ekong’s vast experience and leadership to fortify their defensive line as they enter the final stretch of the league season.
The club believes this marquee signing provides the necessary stability to elevate their competitive standing in the Qatar Stars League. Troost-Ekong brings a wealth of knowledge from various European leagues and international tournaments, making him a cornerstone of the team’s long-term strategy. He will likely make his debut in the coming days as the club pushes for a strong finish in the current campaign.
