Omri Ben Harush (or Ben Harosh,[1] Hebrew: עומרי בן הרוש; born 7 March 1990) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a right back defender for Hapoel Kfar Saba and for the Israel national team.[2]

Early life

Ben-Harush was born in Netanya, Israel, to a family of Sephardic Jewish descent.[3]

Club career

Maccabi Netanya

Ben Harush joined Maccabi Netanya youth team when he was eight years old. He made his debut for the club on 3 August 2009 against Beitar Jerusalem.

In four seasons with Netanya he managed to play 125 games, score six goals and also provided three assists in all club competitions.

Maccabi Tel Aviv

On 11 July 2013, after four years in the senior side of Netanya, he moved to Maccabi Tel Aviv for a fee of $558,000. Omri signed a three-year contract with Tel Aviv.[4] He made his debut for the club on 30 July 2013 in an away Champions League match against Basel. Ben Harush started the season well, after giving a chance in the first team line-up due to an injury of Maccabi's original left-back, Mané. He was lined-up in the historic 3–0 away win in Kiryat Eliezer Stadium against Maccabi Haifa on the third matchday of the Israeli Premier League, after Maccabi had failed to win there for more than nine years. His performances for Maccabi at the start of the season granted him a newly call for the national team, and he was lined-up in the away match against Portugal on 11 October 2013. He scored his debut goal for the club during the away match on 23 November 2013, against Hapoel Haifa.
