Pakistan men’s football team midfielder, Harun Hamid, has recently secured a spot with St Albans City FC, a 6th division club in England. The midfielder, hailing from Pakistan, is poised to make his debut in the upcoming match against Maidstone United, marking a significant move after his participation in the Pakistan versus Tajikistan match on November 21, 2023.
Having been released by Queens Park Rangers (QPR) prior to the current season, Hamid had been exploring potential clubs. While there were connections to some Middle Eastern clubs, he ultimately chose to stay in the United Kingdom, his place of birth and residence with his family.
St Albans City FC, led by coach David Noble, faced a strong finish last season, securing the 6th position out of 24 teams in the 6th division standings. However, this season has brought challenges, with the team currently positioned at 16th. In a bid to turn their fortunes around, they have welcomed Hamid, looking to leverage his skills as a creative force capable of contributing goals.
Harun Hamid’s notable moment with the Pakistan national team came when he scored his maiden goal against Cambodia in the 2nd leg of the 1st round during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Executed with finesse through his left foot, this goal played a pivotal role in Pakistan’s advancement to the 2nd round, marking a historic achievement in the country’s football history.
As Hamid embarks on this new chapter with St Albans City FC, the club and its fans are hopeful that his talents will make a positive impact, addressing the team’s current challenges and contributing to their aspirations for success in the ongoing season.
