Hallescher FC signs goalscorer Malek Fakhro from Duisburg!

Hallesche FC has landed a new striker: Malek Fakhro is moving from MSV Duisburg and is expected to bring a breath of fresh air to the offensive. The 27-year-old comes at exactly the right time for the regional league team, who did not have a real goalscorer in their squad last season. It will be exciting to see how Fakhro will fit in and what role he will play in the team.

Fakhro has made a name for himself in the Regionalliga West with solid performances. He scored an impressive 48 goals in 117 games and was instrumental in the promotion of his former club Duisburg to the third division. Last season he scored nine goals in 29 competitive games. These numbers speak for themselves and show that Fakhro was a mainstay in his previous teams. Daniel Meyer, the HFC's sporting director, also highlights Fakhro's outstanding goal rate and his suitable profile for the player position he is looking for. What is particularly positive is that Hallesche FC relies on state-of-the-art data analysis to objectively measure Fakhro's influence on the game hallescherfc.de reported.

A national player with history

Born in Essen, Fakhro not only brings playing ability, but also an eventful personal history. After his family had to flee due to the Lebanon War in the 1980s, Fakhro grew up to be a top performer at the international level. He has been playing for the Lebanese national team since November 2024 and has already scored two goals in three appearances sportschau.de notes. This shows that Fakhro has also gained a foothold on the international stage and is ready to demonstrate his skills.

With the signing of Fakhro, more offense should come into the HFC's game. The Essen native is considered a classic boxing striker and is valued for his physical style of play. He is 1.85 meters tall and therefore has the necessary presence to cause a stir up front. He was previously trained at Schwarz-Weiß Essen and also played for VfB Lübeck and 1. FC Bocholt, where he scored 15 goals in the 2023/24 season.

A striker in focus

The question now remains as to how Fakhro will integrate into the Halle squad. According to reports, he will fight for the place in the forward line with players such as Cyrill Akono, Robin Friedrich and Lucas Ehrlich. Jonas Nietfeld is currently not in the squad, which could potentially increase Fakhro's chances. Meyer assured that the position of the striker was an important issue for the HFC and that they showed a good hand in the selection. Fakhro prevailed against well-known competition and will hopefully give the HFC many goals.

With this commitment, Hallesche FC shows that they are willing to learn from last season and significantly strengthen the offensive. Fakhro could be the crucial reinforcement the team needs for the upcoming Regionalliga season in order to be at the top of the table. The HFC fan can look forward to the upcoming games!
