Atton Paved Job Bah has completed a move from Iraqi side Al-Hashd to Bahraini club Al-Ahli Club on a free transfer, signing a contract that runs from 2026-02-01 to 2027-06-30. The Ivorian left winger joins the Manama-based team after a short spell in Iraq, returning to Bahrain where he previously played earlier in his career.
The 25-year-old arrives in Bahrain without a listed market value and without a transfer fee changing hands between the clubs, underlining the low-risk nature of the deal for Al-Ahli. The move also reinforces Al-Ahli’s attacking options on the flank, with Bah primarily operating as a left winger and noted as being comfortable with both feet, offering tactical flexibility across the frontline.
Bah’s switch continues a nomadic trajectory over recent seasons. After starting the 2022 campaign as an unattached player, he joined Bahrain SC, then moved within Bahrain to Hidd SCC. From there he crossed into the Iraqi league system with Naft Al-Basra SC, before subsequent transfers to Baladiya Mosul and Al-Hashd. Each move has kept him in West Asia, and this latest transfer brings him back to Bahraini football, where he is now registered with Al-Ahli Club.
While detailed season statistics, appearances, and match-by-match contributions are not available in the current data, Bah’s repeated signings across multiple clubs in Bahrain and Iraq indicate that he has been considered a useful attacking option in those leagues. His profile as an Ivorian winger playing entirely abroad at senior level is also notable: there is no record here of him having played professionally in his home country, Cote d’Ivoire, highlighting how his career path has been shaped by opportunities in the Gulf region rather than in domestic Ivorian competitions.
The leagues listed for both Al-Hashd and Al-Ahli Club are recorded simply as “N/A”, but the move nonetheless confirms that Bah will again be competing in Bahrain, rather than in Cote d’Ivoire. With his contract now active from 2026-02-01, he is tied to Al-Ahli until 2027-06-30, after which he could become a free agent if no extension is agreed, potentially opening the door to yet another move within the region or beyond.
Born on 02/03/2000 and standing at 1.71 m, Bah is entering what should be the prime years of his career. Having already experienced multiple clubs and two different national leagues in Bahrain and Iraq, his new spell at Al-Ahli offers him a chance at greater stability and a larger platform. If he can establish himself as a regular contributor from the left wing and convert his versatility into consistent end product, this confirmed transfer could mark a pivotal phase in the development of his reputation and future prospects.
