Firas Mugrabi (Arabic: فراس مغربي‎, Hebrew: פיראס מוגרבי‎; born 24 July 1991) is an Arab-Israeli footballer who plays for Ihud Bnei Shefa-'Amr.

Career

On 12 November 2008, Mugrabi made his debut for the senior side of Maccabi Netanya in the Toto Cup, scoring the second goal in a 2–0 victory over Beitar Jerusalem.[1] In 4 seasons with Netanya he played 121 games, scored 13 goals and also made 20 assists.

In January 2013, he was loaned back to Maccabi Netanya, as he said, " I would love to come back to Maccabi Netanya and help them stay in the first division". However, at the end of the season the team was relegated to the second division with Reuven Atar as their coach and Mugrabi returned to RC Lens due to his contract.

On 20 July 2013, Mugrabi was officially released from his contract with RC Lens, saying the team reached a full understanding of his situation and gave him the freedom to search for another club to play in.

On June 5, 2016, Firas Mugrabi officially signed a one-year contract with Maccabi Haifa, saying that he has finally achieved his childhood dream.

On January 3, 2017, Mugrabi signed a 3.5 year contract with Bnei Sakhnin.
