Egyptian midfielder Hossam Ghaly has received a warm welcome from both media and fans upon his arrival in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday to join his new club Al-Nasr for one season on a free transfer after ending his contract with Ahly.
Ghaly played with Al-Nasr for a year in 2009, before returning to his boyhood club Ahly in 2010.
"I hope to have a good start in my second experience with Al-Nasr," Ghaly told reporters at King Khalid International Airport.
"The team s start of the season was perfect after beating Al-Faisaly 2-1 in the opener and I hope to continue the league s campaign successfully.
"I am ready for the next match," the Egyptian international added.
The 35-year-old, who had successful journeys playing abroad with Feyenoord, Tottenham Hotspur, Derby County and Lierse, has settled down at his boyhood club since 2014.
Ghaly was part of Ahly s squad for the 2-1 win over rivals Masry in the Egypt Cup final on Tuesday but did not play.
