Sultan Mandash is officially a Hilali... Details of Al-Hilal's second winter signing
The board of directors of Al-Hilal Saudi Club officially announced the completion of the signing of Al-Taawoun's attacking winger, Sultan Mandash, who will represent the "Leaders" for two and a half seasons. This move marks Al-Hilal's second signing during the current winter transfer window, as the administration seeks to strengthen the coach's tactical options and ensure continued strong competition on all domestic and continental fronts.
Boosting the leader's offensive power
The transfer of Mandash to Al-Hilal takes on particular significance at this time, as the Riyadh-based club seeks to maintain its upward trajectory in the Saudi Professional League and the AFC Champions League. A strong bench and multiple options are among the most important weapons for top teams to compete at the long haul, and Mandash provides this thanks to his extensive experience in Saudi football and his speed, which offers additional solutions on the wings.
The player has already joined the Blue team’s group training sessions, amid a welcome from his teammates and the coaching staff, which increases the likelihood of his presence in the squad that will play the anticipated and decisive “Riyadh derby” against the traditional rival, Al-Nasr Club, a match that may witness the player’s first appearance in Al-Hilal’s jersey.
A successful career in Saudi stadiums
Sultan Mandash has a rich history and diverse experiences that have given him great footballing maturity. His journey began in the youth categories at Al-Ittihad Club, where he progressed until he reached the first team in 2014, and had his first professional experience wearing the "Dean" jersey, which included a loan period to Najran Club in the 2015-2016 season, which helped him hone his talent early.
In 2017, Mandash moved to Al-Faisaly Club, where he delivered remarkable performances in midfield, participating in more than 30 matches and scoring crucial goals, which made him a target for major clubs, after which he moved to Al-Ahli Club in the summer of 2019. Despite his short period with “Al-Raqui”, it was an important stop that led him to a loan to Al-Taawoun in 2020.
Shining with Al-Fayha and returning to Al-Taawoun
Perhaps the most prominent period in Mendash's career was with Al-Fayha Club (2021-2024), where he enjoyed great technical stability and was a key pillar of the "Orange" team's lineup. This period culminated in the most precious achievement of his career, winning the King's Cup title in the 2021-2022 season, where he played a pivotal role in the team's triumph.
At the beginning of 2024, Mandash returned to the stronghold of “Al-Qassim Sugar” Al-Taawon Club with a permanent professional contract, to continue his brilliance and contribute effectively to the positive results of the team in the league and cup, scoring and creating goals, which is the performance that convinced the managers of Al-Hilal Club of the need to recruit him to be a new winning card in the Blue Wave squad.
