Mohamed Hefzey: Masr Lel Taamen complete free transfer for experienced Egyptian right-back from A. Nag Hamadi

Masr Lel Taamen have completed the signing of Egyptian right-back Mohamed Hefzey from A. Nag Hamadi on a free transfer, with the move officially registered to start on 2026-07-03. The 31-year-old defender joins as a confirmed addition, with his new deal at Masr Lel Taamen currently listed to run until contract end date: 2026-07-03.

The transfer, confirmed in domestic records as a standard move without a fee, keeps Hefzey in Egyptian club football while formally placing him in a team competing in a league recorded as N/A in Egypt. The switch means he moves on without a defined market valuation, with his market value registered as None at the time of the transfer.

Hefzey arrives at Masr Lel Taamen as an experienced specialist at right-back, his main position recorded as defender – right-back. An Egyptian national, he will remain in his home country’s football structure despite the competition being catalogued as N/A rather than a specified league tier, underlining the sometimes opaque nature of lower-division and non-elite league classification in the domestic game.

The move from A. Nag Hamadi continues a steady, largely lateral progression through Egyptian clubs in recent seasons. Before joining A. Nag Hamadi, Hefzey played for Asyut Cement, having moved there from Mansoura SC. Earlier in his career, he represented Sohag FC before making the step to Mansoura. Each transfer in his history has been recorded as a standard deal within Egypt, reinforcing his profile as a seasoned domestic professional.

His latest switch to Masr Lel Taamen is recorded as part of the 26/27 season cycle, with the underlying competition also tagged as N/A. While that suggests he remains within Egypt rather than moving abroad in a geographical sense, the unclear league designation means he could find himself in a competition that is structured or administered differently from the more clearly defined national divisions, at least in how they are documented.

Born on 10 Aug 1994 and now 31, Hefzey joins Masr Lel Taamen at an age where his experience and positional understanding are likely to be as important as his athleticism. There are no publicly available figures in the data for his recent appearances, defensive statistics, or attacking contributions, and no specific recent match details or scorelines are listed for his time at A. Nag Hamadi or his previous clubs.

The lack of a transfer fee, combined with the absence of an official market valuation, underlines both the financial realities of clubs operating outside the highest-profile competitions and the degree to which players like Hefzey move primarily on sporting needs and opportunity rather than headline-making sums. With his contract at Masr Lel Taamen currently recorded without a future expiry beyond 2026-07-03, there also remains the possibility that he could become a free agent again when that term concludes.

For now, Hefzey’s confirmed arrival gives Masr Lel Taamen an established Egyptian right-back with years of domestic experience across Sohag FC, Mansoura SC, Asyut Cement and A. Nag Hamadi. How he adapts to his new surroundings in a competition listed as N/A in Egypt, and whether strong performances there can extend his stay or lead to further moves once this contract runs its course, will go a long way to defining the next phase of his career.
