His performances earned him an offer of a contract and a chance to gain UAE nationality to play for Al-Ain. The defender spent time in the Emirates having getting a visa through Iraqi coach Jamal Salih, then supervisor of the youth section at Al-Sharjah, but he returned to Iraq to continue his career.
