Mumbai City FC are delighted to announce that midfielder Ahmed Jahouh has put pen to paper on a new one-year contract that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2022-23 season.

In JahouhтАЩs time with the Islanders, the midfielder has recorded 3 goals and 11 assists in 33 games and sits joint-top of the charts for the most assists in the ongoing season.
A native of Al Araoui in Morocco, Jahouh started his career with Ittihad Khemisset and went on to play for various clubs such as Moghreb T├йtouan, Raja Casablanca and FUS Rabat before joining FC Goa in 2017. He turned out for the Goan side for three seasons and won the 2019/20 ISL League WinnersтАЩ Shield and the 2019 Super Cup before joining the Islanders.
Ahmed Jahouh said:
“For me, staying on at Mumbai City was one of the easiest decisions IтАЩve had to make. IтАЩve enjoyed my football in the last 18 months тАУ we had a hugely successful season last year and I am proud to have been a part of a piece of history of this club, but I donтАЩt want us to stop at that. We have an important challenge ahead of us with the remainder of the ISL and the AFC Champions League. I want to help bring more success to the club and everyone associated with Mumbai City, especially the fans who have shown so much love in my time here and I hope that we can have them back with us in Mumbai very soon.тАЭ
