Mauritanian forward Mamadou Ndioko Niass has officially joined Jordanian side Al-Wehdat SC, arriving at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman to a welcome from club officials, including football director Mohammed Jamal and members of the public relations committee.
Niass becomes the third foreign signing for Al-Wehdat this transfer window, joining Palestinian defender Wajdi Nabhan and Egyptian attacker Mustafa Moawad.
The 31-year-old striker is expected to bring both experience and sharp attacking instincts to the squad as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Niass began his career in Mauritania before moving on to professional stints across the Middle East and North Africa.
His reputation grew during spells in Lebanon and Egypt, where he became known for his consistent goal-scoring ability and physical presence in the box.
With strong aerial ability and the knack for positioning, Niass has been an asset in every team he has joined, adapting well to different playing styles and tactical systems.
He has also represented the Mauritanian national team on multiple occasions, gaining valuable international experience in regional tournaments and qualifiers.
His inclusion in the national squad over the years has added to his profile as a reliable and composed striker on the pitch.
Al-Wehdat’s interest in Niass is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the team ahead of domestic league competition and upcoming regional tournaments.
With a history of success in Jordanian football and a loyal fan base, the club is seeking to reclaim domestic titles and perform strongly on the continental stage.
The signing of Niass comes at a pivotal time for Al-Wehdat. Following a season that fell short of expectations, the club is determined to rebuild its squad around experienced professionals who can contribute immediately.
The presence of Niass in the attacking line is expected to offer the team greater depth, leadership, and a dependable option in front of goal.
The striker’s arrival also reflects the increasing appeal of Jordan’s Pro League to international players, particularly those from African nations looking to establish or prolong their careers in competitive leagues across the region.
His ability to hold up the ball, connect play, and finish under pressure makes him a valuable asset in matches that require both flair and discipline.
Niass is scheduled to undergo a medical examination before officially beginning training with his new teammates. Assuming all formalities proceed as planned, he will be integrated into the squad during pre-season preparations, giving the coaching staff time to build chemistry within the attacking unit.
Supporters of Al-Wehdat have responded positively to the signing, viewing Niass as a player who not only adds quality but also reflects the ambition of the club’s current project.
With his blend of technical skill, strength, and international experience, he is expected to play a central role in the club’s campaign ahead.
As anticipation builds for the new season, all eyes will be on Niass and how quickly he adapts to his new environment.
For the striker, it marks the start of a fresh chapter in his professional journey—one that both he and Al-Wehdat hope will be marked by success.
