Salman Al-Moasher (ar|سلمان المؤشر; born 5 October 1988) is a Saudi Arabian footballer who plays for Al-Jubail as a winger. He is a former Saudi Arabia international having represented them from 2012 until 2018.[2]
Salman Al-Moasher started his career at Heraa in his hometown of Mecca. In 2005, he received offers from Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr and Al-Shabab. He also received an offer from Khaled Al-Hubaish, the head of youth development at Al Hilal at the time, to join Al-Hilal's youth team. Al-Moasher eventually agreed to Al-Hilal's offer and officially joined their youth team.[3] [4]
Al-Moasher made his first-team debut for Al-Hilal on 7 January 2008 in the league match against Al-Wehda. He scored the only goal of the game in the 45th minute.[5] On 12 January 2008, Al-Moasher scored his second goal for the club as Al-Hilal defeated Al-Wehda 3–1 at home.[6] Despite scoring twice, Al-Moasher was unable to break into the first team and made just 4 appearances throughout all competitions in the 2007–08 season. On 15 December 2008, Al-Moasher made his final appearance for the club in the 2–0 away win against Al-Raed.[7] In January 2010, Al-Moasher joined Al-Qadsiah on loan until the end of the season. However, he failed to make a single appearance for the club and returned to Al-Hilal following the conclusion of the season.
On 20 January 2011, Al-Moasher joined Al-Wehda on a three-and-a-half-year contract.[8] He made his debut for the club on 12 February 2011 in the league match against former club Al-Hilal.[9] He scored twice and assisted five times in 18 matches throughout all competitions as Al-Wehda finished as runners-up in the Crown Prince Cup. Despite his best efforts, Al-Wehda were relegated at the end of the season after they were docked three points.[10] In his second season at the club, Al-Moasher scored 14 league goals helping Al-Wehda finish second in the First Division thus earning promotion to the Pro League.[11] In the 2012–13 season, Al-Moasher scored once and assisted three times in 21 league matches. However, Al-Wehda finished 14th and were relegated at the end of the season.[12] Following Al-Wehda's relegation to the First Division, Al-Moahser was linked to moves to Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr.[13] However, a move wasn't materialized and Al-Moasher remained at Al-Wehda. In his fourth and final season at the club, Al-Moasher scored 11 goals in 28 appearances and finished as the club's top scorer. However, Al-Wehda finished third and failed to gain promotion to the Pro League. Al-Moasher refused to sign a new contract with the club and left following the conclusion of the season.
On 13 May 2014, Al-Moasher joined Al-Ahli on a free transfer. He signed a three-year contract with the club.[14] He made his debut for the club on 22 September 2014 in the Crown Prince Cup match against Hajer.[15] He made his league debut on 27 September 2014 against Al-Shoulla.[16] Al-Moasher scored his first goal for Al-Ahli in the 4–2 away win against Al-Raed on 25 October 2014.[17] In the final league match of the season, Al-Moasher scored the equalizer against derby rivals Al-Ittihad. This meant that Al-Ahli would end their season unbeaten. However, despite ending the league unbeaten, Al-Ahli finished in second place.[18] In his second season at the club, Al-Moasher played a vital role in helping Al-Ahli win the domestic double.
On 11 September 2023, Al-Moahser joined Al-Tai on a one-year deal following the expiration of his contract with Al-Ahli.[19]
