'Look forward to achieving great success' - Morocco's Ait El-Haj on starting life at Zaragoza

Morocco international Hanane Ait El-Haj is excited after training with her new Zaragoza teammates for the first time on Thursday.

The 25-year-old joined the Spanish side on a one-year contract with an option of an extension after leaving the Moroccan side ASFAR, where she celebrated league triumphs in four years.

The move to the Reto Iberdrola club saw the Raja d'Agadir-born former Najah de Souss and Nadi Baladi de Laayoune defender achieve her dreams of playing professional abroad for the first time.
