Omri Afek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omri Afek (Hebrew: עמרי אפק, born 31 March 1979) is an Israeli football player.
He started playing for Hapoel Kiryat Ono on youth level. He later moved to Hapoel Tel Aviv. He became famous for his fine play during Hapoel's UEFA Cup stint and also started playing for Israel national football team. From 2003 played in La Liga with Racing Santander and UD Salamanca before moving to Beitar Jerusalem in 2006. He got little playing time under manager Luis Fernandez because of a personal dispute, but he is supposed to become a first lineup player under new manager Ossie Ardiles.
Afek can play as a right winger or even as a striker but under Beitar, he will most probably be playing in the right fullback position.
Afek is currently the focus of transfer speculation linking him with Leeds United.
