Faris Haroun, the Belgian midfielder of Chadian descent, made a move to Blackpool in the English Championship (D2) during the recent transfer window. His decision to change clubs was motivated by the desire for more playing time, as he had been sidelined at Middlesbrough in the same division.
Haroun received several offers during the winter transfer window, including from clubs in Switzerland, German D2, Greece, and Kazakhstan, but he preferred to stay in the English Championship due to its competitive nature. Despite rumors linking him to Belgian clubs Zulte Waregem and Ghent, Haroun clarified that Blackpool’s manager convinced him to join them for six months, as he will be at the end of his contract thereafter.
Reflecting on his career choices, Haroun expressed contentment with his path, emphasizing his dream of playing in England. He highlighted significant matches he played with Middlesbrough, including being voted man of the match against Chelsea in the Cup last season. While every athlete aspires for more, Haroun is pleased to be at Blackpool and is focused on contributing positively to his new club.
