[edit] Career
[edit] Club career
Swiss club FC Sion announced that they had signed El-Hadary on a four-year contract in February 2008, despite claims to the contrary from his club Al-Ahly.[1][2] El-Hadary was fined and suspended by Al-Ahly,[3] before world governing body FIFA stepped in to give permission for Sion to complete the deal.[4][5]
On 20 July 2009, it was announced that the Egyptian national team goalkeeper had joined Egyptian Premier League side Ismaily.[6]
On 1 July 2010, El Hadary signed for Zamalek SC, but he was later suspended for 4 months by FIFA for his earlier contract with FC Sion.[7]
In December 2010, he moved to Sudanese club Al-Merreikh.[8]
During the summer of 2011, Hadary received multiple offers from European clubs which made him express his wish to leave Merreikh. In August he went to try out for Hull City.[9] Al-Merreikh however did not let him go, having him signed for three years.[10]
