Tareq Shihab (born 7 March 2001) is a professional footballer currently playing as a midfielder for Icelandic side Grótta. Born in the Netherlands, he is a youth international for England.
Club career[edit]
Born in the Netherlands, Shihab moved to England as a child, joining the academy of professional side Brighton & Hove Albion in August 2014.[1] Having made his debut for Brighton's under-18 team in the 2016–17 season, Shihab continued to progress through the academy until September 2019, when he was sent on a four-month loan to Southern Football League side Tamworth.[2] Upon signing, Tamworth manager Gary Smith described Shihab as a "good technician, good with the ball", and that he was a "great addition to our squad".[2] Having made his debut in the 3–0 Southern Football League Cup win over Barwell on 10 September, he only featured once more for the club before returning to Brighton & Hove Albion at the expiration of the deal on 4 January 2020.[3]
Having been released by Brighton at the conclusion of the 2019–20 season, Shihab moved to the United States, enrolling at the Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and joined their soccer team, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.[4] He finished the 2021 season with thirteen appearances, in which he started two, and one assist against the George Washington Revolutionaries on 12 October.[5]
On his return to England, he joined Isthmian League side Whitehawk, and went on to make three appearances for the team in the 2021–22 season.[6]
After a short spell with Newhaven, he began to train with Icelandic 1. deild karla club Grótta in November 2022, before making the move to the Seltjarnarnes-based club ahead of the 2023 season, signing a two-year deal.[7]
International career[edit]
Shihab represented England from under-15 to under-17 level, being named on the bench on 8 November 2017 in a 3–2 win against Portugal, before making his debut and playing ninety minutes in a 2–1 win over Russia three days later.[2][8][9]
