Al Nassr defender Abdulelah Al Amri has signed a new contract at the club, the Saudi giants announced on Thursday (December 7).

Al Amri, who has been a prolific player for them, has extended his contract at his current home, which will see him stay at the club until 2028.

The 26-year-old player started his professional career with Al Nassr and is going to continue his association with the Knights of Najd. He made his debut in 2017 and has been a regular for them since the 2020-21 season.

The lanky defender, who is predominantly a centre-back, has already played 19 times for them this season and has scored 2 goals as well. Al Nassr coach Luis Castro is very impressed with the player and is keen to keep him at the club.

Al Nassr are currently 2nd in the Saudi Pro League table, seven points behind league leaders Al Hilal.

Al Amri's excellent stint with Al Nassr was not overlooked as there were clubs in Saudi who wanted to bring him in. But Al Nassr has acted fast and now has tied him down with a long-term contract.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been a force for them this season. The Al Nassr captain has already racked up goals galore and will be hoping to do the same as they face Al Riyadh in a crucial league match on Friday.
