While we would like to keep all of our Academy graduates connected to Maccabi, we have reluctantly agreed to transfer him to Hadera with Maccabi retaining a significant interest in his future. Eliel has been a pleasure to have around the Club and everyone at Maccabi wishes Eliel all the very best for the future”.
