Rah Ahan

After a season at Naft, Alishah was signed up by Ali Daei for Rah Ahan.[6] Ali Daei moved him up the field and into a more attacking position using Alishah as a right winger/second striker instead of right back where he had been used by his previous managers. Alishah with his blistering pace quickly managed to find his way into the starting line-up scoring 5 goals in his first nine games. He had a less successful second half of a season mainly due to a Cruciate ligament injury in a match against Damash Gilan in March 2012.[7] He had been far from the team till December 2012.[8]
