In the starry night sky of soccer, under the evening curtain of June 29, Meizhou Hakka Football Club welcomed a bright star - Cameroonian goal scorer John Mali, whose return was like a sudden storm, injecting new vitality and hope into the team, helping the team to work hard to achieve the ambitious goals of this season.
Born on March 9, 1993, this fierce player with a height of 181 cm was the pride of Meizhou Hakka soccer team. In that 2018 season, he was like a cheetah on the soccer field, writing his own soccer legend with 43 appearances and a staggering 36 goals, plus 2 assists.
In 2019, John Marley moved to Shenzhen Jiazhaoye and continued to shine in the Chinese Super League, showcasing his superb goal-scoring ability with 20 goals in 32 games. At the end of the season, he said goodbye to the Chinese Super League and traveled to the J-League, joining Fukuoka Hornets. Since then, he has traveled all over the Middle East and Europe, playing for teams such as Riyadh Youth, Rize Sporting and Manisa, with each transfer seemingly breaking the mold and generating a lot of attention in the soccer world.
Now, John Marley will don the No. 28 gown and once again return to the familiar Meizhou Hakka team for the upcoming Chinese Super League. Facing the first 16 rounds of the 2024 season with a record of 7 losses, 7 draws and 2 wins, scoring 11 goals and conceding 21, and only accumulating 13 points, ranking 15th and in the relegation vortex, John Marley's joining is undoubtedly a timely rain, and his goal-scoring ability is expected to be the key to the team on the road to relegation.
