Early life

Born in Safi, Morocco, Hamdallah was the youngest of seven children of the family. Hamadallah spoke about his childhood, quoting: "I started playing football in the street with other children of the city where I was born, Safi," he says. "As a teenager, I enrolled in a club in town. I was playing almost every day after school and all weekend. My older brother always supported me. It encouraged me to work hard . It was both my mentor and my first bear."[1]

Club career

Hamdallah started his professional career when he played for Olympique Safi of Morocco's top league.[2]

Aalesund

On 14 February 2013, it was confirmed that Hamdallah had joined Tippeliga club Aalesund. The transfer fee was priced in the region of 1 million Euro or 7,4 million Norwegian Krone and the player signed a three-year contract, his first European contract. The transfer fee was the highest Aalesunds FK has paid for a player ever.[3][4]

Hamdallah spoke about the first time he arrived at Norway, quoting: "It was a difficult experience because I arrived in a country that's very cold, but through an effort of will, I overcame every obstacle. I was the first player from the Moroccan championship to come to Norway, and my signing generated a lot of attention in the newspapers. In the end, I was able to silence my critics by finishing as one of the leading scorers in the league."[5]

Hamdallah made his debut on 1 April 2013 as a substitute in the 0–1 away win of Sandnes Ulf and then scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–0 win over Sarpsborg 08 on 14 April 2013. Then on 13 May 2013, Hamdallah scored his first hat-trick for Aalesund in a 7–1 win over Lillestrøm SK, which he helped the club into second place after nine games.[6] After scoring ten goals so far this season, Hamadallah scored his second hat-trick of the season, in a 3–1 win over Viking on 25 October 2013.[7]

In his first season, Hamdallah had a successful season with the club, scoring fifteen times in twenty-seven appearance and was included in the Team of the Year.[8] Also, it left Hamdallah as the club's top scorer, though he was the second top-scorer behind Frode Johnsen.[9]

Guangzhou R&F

In February 2014, Hamdallah joined Chinese Super League side Guangzhou R&F.[10] Upon the move, Hamdallah will be coached by Sven-Göran Eriksson for a record fee of 4.5 million Euro or 33,3 million Norwegian Krone.[11] His departure from Aalesunds left the club very affected, due to his goal-scoring form, something the club now struggle since Hamdallah left Norway for China.[12]

After making two appearance at the start of the season, Hamdallah scored his first hat-trick of the season, in a 3–1 win over Shanghai Shenxin on 22 March 2014.[13] In the next game against Hangzhou Greentown, he scored another hat-trick in a 6–2 win.[14] He scored again in the next match against Henan Jianye, which he scored twice in a 4–0 win.[15] After a week out over a leg injury, Hamdallah scored the winning goal, in a 1–0 win over against reigning champion, Guangzhou Evergrande.[16] In his first season at Guangzhou R&F, Hamdallah made twenty-two appearance and scoring twenty-two times.
