The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ben Melikson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Yonatan Benayoun steps up from the Bnei Sakhnin academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Yonatan Benayoun has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Idan Vered stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Idan Vered and Bnei Sakhnin agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

- The dugout Daniel Paraschiv knocks on the manager's door
- Squad No place for Idan Vered in the new shape
