Hassan Samih Chaito[a] (Arabic: حسن سميح شعيتو, Lebanese Arabic pronunciation: [ˈħasan saˈmiːħ ˈʃʕajto, -tu]; born 16 June 1991), also known as Shibriko (Arabic: شيبريكو, [ʃiː'briːko, -ku]), is a Lebanese professional footballer who plays as a full-back for club Ansar and the Lebanon national team. A modern day full-back, Shibriko is a quick player who can both attack and defend down the flank.[2]
Club career
Coming through the youth system, Chaito began his senior career at Lebanese Second Division side Khoyol during the 2011–12 season.[3] Following two seasons at Khoyol, on 7 March 2013, Lebanese Premier League club Safa announced the signing of Chaito.[4] In his first season at Safa, Chaito won the 2013 Lebanese Super Cup, beating Shabab Sahel 2–1 in the final.[5] During the 2013–14 season, Chaito played four league games.[3] The following season (2014–15), Chaito didn't feature in the league for Safa.[3]
In 2015 Chaito joined Ansar.[3] He would become a regular for the team, playing 15 league games during the 2015–16 season.[3] The following season, in 2016–17, Chaito helped his side win the 2016–17 Lebanese FA Cup; he scored three goals in 13 league games that season.[3]
International career
Chaito played for the Lebanon national under-22 team at the 2013 AFC U-22 Championship qualification in 2012.[4] His senior international debut for Lebanon came on 20 November 2018, in a friendly against Australia; Lebanon lost 3–0.[3] In December 2018, Chaito was called up for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup squad.[6] However, he didn't feature in the tournament.[3]
Personal life
Chaito's nickname comes from the name of his local club in Haret Hreik where he used to play: Shibriko. Indeed, when playing football with his friends, Chaito would wear his club's shirt which bore its name on the back.[7]
