Jad's Football Journey
Playing in Indonesia
Jad Noureddine played for two Indonesian teams, Pusamania Borneo and Arema FC, in 2016 and 2017. In 2016, while playing for Pusamania Borneo, he got a serious knee injury called an ACL injury. Because there were no specialists in Indonesia who could treat his specific injury, Jad had to go back to Lebanon for medical care.
Time with Safa and Perak
In 2017, Jad returned to Lebanon and signed with Safa. He played 21 games for them in the 2017–18 season and scored two goals. On June 4, 2018, Jad joined Perak, a club in the Malaysia Super League, during the middle of their season. He played in eight of the last nine games of the 2018 season for Perak.
On December 21, 2018, Jad Noureddine went back to Safa, signing a contract for two and a half years. He played 10 league games for Safa during the second half of the 2018–19 season.
Joining Ahed Club
On July 9, 2020, Jad Noureddine joined Ahed, a team that had won the AFC Cup. He signed a five-year contract with them as a free agent, meaning Ahed did not have to pay a transfer fee to another club for him.
Loan Spells: Bahrain and Malaysia
Jad went on loan to Al-Ahli, a team in the Bahraini Premier League, on November 29, 2020. This loan lasted for five months. He played his first game for Al-Ahli on December 10, which was a 1–1 draw against Malkiya. Jad helped his team win against Hidd in the semi-final of the Bahraini King's Cup, which meant they reached the final. However, they lost the final match to Riffa.
On May 31, 2021, Ahed loaned Jad Noureddine out again, this time to Perak in the Malaysia Super League for six months. Later, on February 23, 2022, he was loaned to Akhaa Ahli Aley until the end of that season.
After his loan periods ended and he returned to Ahed, Jad and the club decided together to end his contract.
