CAIRO: Al-Ahly full-back Islam Al-Shater could be joining Harras Al-Hodoud next season after he agreed the move “in principal.

I agreed in principal to join Harras. I was also approached by Petrojet but I prefer the Harras option, he told FilGoal.com.

Al-Shater is almost certain to leave Al-Ahly, despite Hossam Al-Badri s comments last month that the 32-year-old is staying.

The Egypt international, who still has one year left on his contract with Al-Ahly, was linked with a move to the Gulf area in late.

The former Ismaili defender struggled with injuries last season, which saw him playing a scant role in the Reds victorious league campaign.
