The Board thanked and appreciated Al-Faraj for his presentation throughout the club’s representation, which had witnessed many achievements and tournaments, and wished the player well in his sporting career.
Al-Hilali decided to write the finale in Salman al-Faraj’s career, having only participated as a substitute last season, due to the presence of foreign duo Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic Savic.
Salman al-Faraj began his campaign with the “Hilali leader” in 2008 and continued in his ranks until 2024, completing 16 years with the historic champion of the Saudi League.
According to the Transvir Market Football Statistics website, Salman Al Faraj played in 381 matches in various competitions, scoring 24 goals and providing 38 assists.
Al-Furj is the most eligible player in the history of Al-Hilal with 24 titles at the local and continental levels, most recently the King’s Cup at the expense of victory.
Also, he is the most decorated player of the Saudi Professional League title with Al-Hilal with 8 titles equal to Mohammed Al-Shalhoub
