Ofir Marciano

Marciano signed for Ashdod in 2008, and made over 120 league appearances for the Israeli club. On 7 July 2015, he signed a season-long loan deal with Belgian club Royal Excel Mouscron.[6]

In August 2016, he signed for Scottish club Hibernian on loan for the 2016–17 season,[7] although red tape held up his eligibility to play for the club.[8] Marciano said that he was sold on the move by fellow Israeli Nir Bitton, who plays for Celtic.[9] Following a three-week delay, it was announced on 26 August that Marciano had obtained his work permit after passing an English test.[10] He made his debut for the club on the following day, in a 4–0 win against Greenock Morton.[11] Marciano made 21 league appearances as Hibernian won the 2016–17 Scottish Championship, earning promotion to the Scottish Premiership.[12]

In June 2017, he signed a four-year deal with Hibernian.[13] Marciano was replaced in the team by Ross Laidlaw in September, missing one game due to observing Yom Kippur.[14] Marciano regained his place, but in June 2018 he underwent surgery on a finger injury.[15][16] This caused him to miss matches early in the 2018–19 season, which led to Hibs signing Hungarian goalkeeper Adam Bogdan.[15] Marciano resumed training in October 2018 and subsequently regained the starting position with Hibs.[17]

Chris Maxwell replaced Marciano as first choice early in the 2019–20 season,[18] but the Israeli regained his place during December 2019.[19]

He made his international debut on 10 October 2014, as Israel won 2–1 against Cyprus in UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying.[20] Marciano was recalled to the Israel squad in November 2016,[21] but had to withdraw after suffering a knee injury in training.[22] He played in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Spain in March 2017, but was at fault for the second goal of a 4–1 defeat.[23] Marciano was recalled to the national squad in March 2019,[17] and played in their UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying matches in October.[18]
