Nigerian defensive midfielder Emeka Christian Eze has joined Saudi Arabian club Hetten FC from Egypt’s Harras Hodoud on a free transfer.
The 33-year-old completed the move on 1 September 2026, beginning a new chapter after two years with Harras Hodoud. Eze joined the Egyptian side in August 2024, also on a free transfer, and now moves on without a fee being paid by Hetten FC.
Eze has played predominantly in defensive midfield and brings extensive senior experience to his new club. His career record includes 190 Premier League appearances, with three goals and seven assists, alongside 50 appearances in the NPFL, where he scored four goals and created three more.
He has also featured in continental and domestic cup competitions, making 18 appearances in the CAF Confederation Cup and playing in the CAF Champions League, Egypt Cup, Egyptian League Cup and Championship Playoff. His previous experience in Egypt includes spells with El Masry, El Nasr Tadeen and Entag El Harby.
The midfielder began his Egyptian career with El Nasr Tadeen after leaving Nigerian club Rangers in January 2017. He spent the 2017-18 season on loan at Entag El Harby before returning to El Nasr Tadeen, and later moved to El Masry in 2018.
Eze’s honours include a Nigerian league title with Rangers International FC in the 2015-16 season. He has also represented Nigeria, although his club career has largely been based in Egypt since his departure from Rangers.
The transfer gives Hetten FC a player with experience across Nigerian and Egyptian football, as well as appearances in African club competitions. Eze is listed at 1.70m and is capable of using either foot.
His move from Harras Hodoud to Hetten FC was completed as a free transfer on 1 September 2026.
