Ali Gholizadeh Nojedeh (Persian: علی قلیزاده, romanized: 'Ali Qolizâde; born 10 March 1996) is an Iranian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań and the Iran national team.
Gholizadeh is a product of the Saipa youth system and broke into the club's first team at 18. He went on to play for five seasons at Saipa before transferring to Belgian side Charleroi in 2018. He has represented Iran at every level, debuting for the senior national team in March 2018 under then-head coach Carlos Queiroz.
Club career
[edit]Saipa
[edit]He started his career with Saipa youth levels. He was promoted to the first team by Engin Firat and made his debut for Saipa in last fixture of 2013–14 Iran Pro League against Saba Qom as a substitute.[2] After scoring six times in 28 games, Gholizadeh was named the Persian Gulf Pro League Young Player of the Season for 2017–18.
