Salah El Din Ahmed Said[1] (Amharic: ሳላዲን ሰይድ; born 29 October 1988), also known as Salhadin Said or Saladin Said, is an Ethiopian former professional footballer who played as a forward. His energy, skill, and goal scoring ability in critical games have made him one of the indispensable players in eastern Africa. Salhadin finished as the top scorer in the 2017 CAF Champions League.

Early career

[edit]

In 2010, Salhadin was on trial with Serbian club Partizan, but the transfer failed.[2] Subsequently, he trialled with FK Vojvodina, but did not manage to go further than gaining good wishes and compliments from coach Zoran Milinković.[3]

In 2011, Salhadin scored five goals in a 2011 Kagame Inter-Club Cup game against AS Port from Djibouti.[4]

Wadi Degla

[edit]

On 9 October 2011, Salhadin got transferred to Egyptian club Wadi Degla FC, who paid 2,040,000 Ethiopian birr, ($240,000 US),[5] at the time the highest sum ever paid for an Ethiopian footballer.

Lierse

[edit]

Salhadin said ahead of Ethiopia's game against Burkina Faso in 2013 Africa Cup of Nations that he was moving to Belgium club Lierse after the Africa Cup.[6]

Al Ahly

[edit]

On 23 April 2014, Saladin moved from Wadi Degla to the league rivals Al-Ahly where they had captured 2013 CAF Champions League title.[7]

Saint George

[edit]

After an unsuccessful stint at Algerian side MC Alger, Said returned to Saint George in 2016.[8]

International career
