Marwan Mohsen has played for several football clubs throughout his career. Each club helped him grow as a player.
Playing for Petrojet
Marwan Mohsen started his journey in the Egyptian Premier League with Petrojet in 2010. He joined them after showing great skill in a lower division. His first game for Petrojet was on May 13, 2010.
He quickly became an important player. He even joined the Egypt U-23 squad. This team was trying to qualify for big tournaments like the 2012 Summer Olympics.
After playing very well in the 2012 Toulon Tournament and the 2012 Summer Olympics, many clubs wanted Mohsen. These included big Egyptian teams and clubs from Europe. He wanted to move to a club outside Egypt to help his chances with the national team.
Mohsen faced a health challenge that kept him from playing for a couple of months. But he worked hard to recover. He returned to the field and scored goals in friendly matches. He even scored two goals against the famous Zamalek team in a friendly game.
In 2013, a Russian club, Amkar Perm, wanted to sign him. Mohsen was keen to go, but the clubs could not agree on a price. So, he stayed with Petrojet for a bit longer.
Moving to Gil Vicente
On July 10, 2014, Mohsen moved to Europe. He signed a three-year contract with Gil Vicente in Portugal. This was a big step in his career, playing in a European league.
Time at Ismaily

Joining Al Ahly
His excellent performance at Ismaily caught the eye of one of Egypt's biggest clubs, Al Ahly. On July 21, 2016, Mohsen officially signed a five-year contract with Al Ahly. This was a major move to a top team.
