Gal Arel (Hebrew: גל אראל; born 9 July 1989) is an Israeli former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder or a central defender. He is currently the assistant coach of Hapoel Haifa.[1]
Arel was born in Kiryat Haim, Haifa. He finished his formation with Hapoel Haifa. On 23 January 2009 he made his senior debut, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away win against Maccabi Ironi Kiryat Ata.[2]
On 22 August 2009, Arel made his Premier League debut, again from the bench in a 2–1 success at Maccabi Netanya; he also scored the winner in the 80th minute.[3] He was regularly used during the following four full seasons, with his side always avoiding relegation.
On 22 July 2013, Arel signed a four-year deal with fellow league team Hapoel Be'er Sheva.[4] Regularly used during his first season, he lost his space in his second, being loaned to Hapoel Petah Tikva in January 2015.
On 1 August 2015, already as a free agent, Arel joined Gimnàstic de Tarragona, signing a two-year deal with the club after impressing on a trial.[5] On 1 February of the following year, after being rarely used, he rescinded his link.
