Fard Ibrahim: Hapoel Ramat Gan complete free transfer for Ghana left-back from Irtysh Pavlodar

Hapoel Ramat Gan have completed the signing of Ghanaian left-back Fard Ibrahim from Irtysh Pavlodar on a free transfer, with the deal officially dated from 2026-07-02 and running until 2027-06-30.

The 26-year-old defender joins the Israeli club after leaving Kazakh side Irtysh at the end of his spell in the Premier Liga, arriving with a listed market value of 200k. The move sees Ibrahim continue his career abroad, with his next challenge now coming in Ligat ha’Al rather than in his homeland of Ghana.

Ibrahim, born in Accra and standing at 1.84m, is established as a specialist left-back and is left-footed. He is registered with Ghanaian nationality and is recorded as playing his main position as defender on the left side, a role Hapoel Ramat Gan have been looking to strengthen. His new club is currently listed as H. Ramat Gan, with his national team entry also shown as Hapoel Ramat Gan.

The transfer has been confirmed as a free deal, meaning no fee was paid to Irtysh despite his 200k valuation at the time of the move. The official transfer date is recorded as 2026-07-02, reflecting when the registration switched from the Kazakh Premier Liga outfit to the Israeli side.

Having been under contract with Irtysh in Kazakhstan’s Premier Liga, Ibrahim now steps into the top tier of Israeli football, Ligat ha’Al, through Hapoel Ramat Gan. The move continues his path as an expatriate professional, representing another step away from his roots in Accra and Ghanaian domestic football.

While specific appearance and performance statistics from his time at Irtysh are not detailed in the available data, the fact that he secured a move into Ligat ha’Al while holding a six-figure market valuation underlines that he has maintained a respectable standing in the transfer market. The data does not list previous clubs beyond Irtysh and Hapoel Ramat Gan, nor does it provide match-by-match breakdowns, recent scores, or individual game performances, so no particular fixture or statistical return can be cited.

With his contract at Hapoel Ramat Gan set to run until 2027-06-30, Ibrahim now has a clear window to establish himself in Israel’s top division. If he adapts well to Ligat ha’Al and consolidates his status as a starting left-back, the move could enhance his reputation, potentially increase his market value beyond the current 200k mark, and further cement his status as a Ghanaian defender successfully building a career abroad.
