Refael "Rafi" Dahan (Hebrew: רפי דהן; born 28 September 1989) is a former Israeli footballer who last played for Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv as a defensive midfielder.
Dahan was born in Or Akiva, Israel, to a Jewish family.[1]
Dahan grew up in the Beitar Nes Tubruk youth academy. In 2009, Hapoel Petah Tikva signed Dahan and by his second season with the club, Dahan had established himself as a first team player. In 2011, he signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv.[2]
In March 2014, Maccabi Haifa F.C.'s Rubén Rayos committed a brutal tackle which resulted in an anterior cruciate ligament injury, forcing Dahan out for the remainder of the season; Rubén Rayos received a straight red card for his action.[3] [4]
After spending the next 12 months in recovery, Dahan was informed by his medical staff that his injury will not fully heal, forcing him to retire at age 25.[5]
