In the footsteps of Al-Mowaled: Musab Al-Juwayr enters the golden list in Roshan

Musab Al-Juwayr left his mark on a historic figure in the Roshn Saudi Pro League, after starting for Al-Qadsiah against Al-Shabab in the competition's opening round.

Irish manager Brendan Rodgers handed the midfield magician a start, and the youngster repaid him by writing his name onto a golden list in the Roshn League.

According to football statistics network "Opta", Musab Al-Juwayr played his 100th match in the Roshn Saudi Pro League, in the shirts of Al-Hilal, Al-Shabab and Al-Qadsiah.

At 23 years and 54 days, Al-Juwayr became the second-youngest player to reach 100 matches in the Roshn League. He trails only Fahad Al-Muwallad, the Al-Ittihad legend who got there at 22 years and 67 days.

Few midfielders in Saudi football carry his reputation. Al-Juwayr came through the youth ranks at Al-Hilal before breaking into the first team, spent a spell on loan at Al-Shabab, then joined Al-Qadsiah at the start of last season.
