Arab Contractors defense duo Ali Fathi and Mahmoud Ezzat have joined Portuguese side Nacional Madeira on loan. It was confirmed that both clubs have reached an agreement on Saturday over season-long loan deals for the 22-year-old pair. Left-back Fathi has been a regular for the Egypt U-20s in recent years while center-half Ezzat impressed in his first season at senior level. The duo joins another Egyptian defender at Nacional, who have Ali Ghazal on their books. The move comes one day after Marwan Mohsen has joined Gil Vicente from Petrojet.
