RANS FC bring in Ladji Malle to strengthen attack

Malian-Mauritanian winger Ladji Malle has joined RANS FC from Hapoel Hadera on a free transfer, completing his move to the club on 4 September 2026.

The 24-year-old plays primarily on the left wing and is known for using his left foot. Born in Bamako, Malle adds experience from several leagues and becomes the latest step in a career that has taken him from Mali to clubs in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia.

Malle spent the 2025-26 season with Hapoel Hadera after joining the Israeli club from Gonyeli SK in July 2025. He had previously moved to Gonyeli from Al-Arabi in September 2024, also on a free transfer.

His record includes 31 appearances in Liga Leumit, with five goals and three assists. He also made 27 appearances in the Nike Liga, scoring twice and providing two assists, while he has featured in competitions including the Slovak Cup, UAE President’s Cup, United States League Championship and MLS Next Pro.

Malle’s career began with Right to Dream before he returned to Mali to play for AS Bamako. He moved to Pohronie in January 2021, then switched to LV Lights in August 2022. A free transfer to LAFC 2 followed in March 2023, although he subsequently became a free agent before joining Al-Arabi in September that year.

The winger’s latest move gives him another opportunity to continue his career in a new football environment. RANS FC is the sixth club Malle has joined since leaving Mali, following spells in Slovakia, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Cyprus and Israel.

He arrives with a recorded market value of €75,000 and has joined without a transfer fee. No contract expiry date has been provided for his time at RANS FC.

Malle has now completed his switch from Hapoel Hadera to RANS FC as a free agent.
