Career

Summarize
Perspective

Mohammed Al-Balushi is the first Omani player to play professionally in Africa[2] when he was loaned in 2008 to Al-Ahly (Tripoli)[3] of Libya. He then moved to Al-Arabi SC where he played for a full season and displayed a great performance with the club and with the Oman national football team. His solid defensive abilities plus the gift to score goals made him a target to a number of international clubs such as AJ Auxerre[4] and some regional giants such as Al-Shabab (Saudi Arabia).[5]

But on 22 July 2009, Al-Wasl FC of the UAE won the race and signed the gifted Omani footballer for a season long loan.[6] Before the end of the season, "Al Shaiba" proved his worth, and accepted a four-year contract from Al-Wasl FC.[7] On 29 December 2013, Sheiba signed for his first club Al-Nahda Club for a period of 6 months.[8]
