Though he has not attracted very much public attention, al Jahdali is undoubtedly the Ariddian team’s most skilled defender, and is the only player to have taken part in all fifty of the new team’s matches to date. While public focus has been on forward players such as Frédéric Clément or Hanifah Kyaw, al Jahdali’s task has been to organise, structure and strengthen an originally rather weak defence.

al Jahdali is a tall, impassive-looking man in his early thirties, with fairly long black hair and dark eyes. Domestically, he plays for Ceridhton United, in Audioslavia.
