Thameur Salhi: Tunisian defender joins Al-Kahrbaa Club from Diyala in Iraq Stars League move

Tunisian centre-back Thameur Salhi has joined Al-Kahrbaa Club from Diyala in a move within the Iraq Stars League. The 34-year-old switches clubs in Iraq as Al-Kahrbaa strengthen the heart of their defence with an experienced specialist in the position.

Salhi leaves Diyala after featuring in the same division, bringing with him familiarity with the demands of top-flight football in Iraq. His arrival gives Al-Kahrbaa a ready-made option at centre-back, adding leadership and organisation to their back line.

The Tunisian defender, who is listed with a market value of around €75,000, has built his career as a central defender and now extends that journey with another club in the Iraqi top tier. His move keeps him in the same league but introduces a new environment and set of ambitions at Al-Kahrbaa.

At 34, Salhi offers veteran experience to the squad, with the club opting for a proven defender already adapted to the pace and style of the Iraq Stars League rather than a newcomer to the competition. The transfer also underlines the continued attraction of the league for established foreign professionals.

Salhi’s deal means Al-Kahrbaa add a Tunisia-born centre-back to their ranks as they prepare for the upcoming challenges in the Iraq Stars League.
