Bar Lin (18) will continue at Maccabi Tel Aviv for at least the next three years after signing a new contract until the end of the 2025/26 season with an option to extend by another year.
After signing his new contract, Lin told the club’s official website: “As a young kid at Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Youth Department everyone’s dream was to reach and play for the first team, but only a few manage to fulfil that dream. To be one of those players, is an amazing feeling. Now that I have signed a professional contract I would like to train hard, play well hoping to be able to continue my development at the club I grew up at. The journey is still long and there is plenty of work ahead but I am ready for this challenge”.
Maccabi’s CEO, Ben Mansford, added: “I recently met Bar and his family for the first time. What came across from them was Bar’s desire to want to play football for Maccabi at the highest level and to prove his ability. We are delighted that Bar and his family have committed their future to Maccabi. It continues a commitment to youth from Mitch and the Club that now spans over 13 years. We all look forward to Bar going on to emulate those that have gone before him. Good luck Bar! #Always Maccabi.”
Bar Lin joined Maccabi’s Youth Department from Rishon Lezion at the age of 11 before rising through the ranks and making his senior debut appearance in March 2022 at a State Cup Quarter Final tie against Maccabi Jaffa.
Last season Lin scored 8 goals in 32 appearances for the U19’s Maccabi Tel Aviv ‘Shahar’ and made his senior league debut against Hapoel Be’ersheva.
Lin represented Israel’s young national sides on 12 international matches and has one goal to his name.
