In a career spanning almost 25 years, the 42-year-old, 6’9” (2-metre) power forward from Kairouan, a desert city in northern Tunisia, has also played in Portugal, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Morocco – winning eight Tunisian league titles, five Tunisian Cup titles and two Arab Club Championships.
