Ismaily SC in a press conference in Ismailia, rejoining El Daraweesh on a
two-year deal.

The 34-year-old striker agreed to join Daraweesh after his contract

the Alexandria Stadium on Saturday to watch Ismaily defeat Al Masry 2-0
in the Egypt Cup, and on Sunday, he was introduced to the club’s fans in

Overall, Utaka made over 60 appearances in Egypt and scored league 31
goals, winning the Egypt Cup while being the league’s top scorer with
Ismaily SC. Utaka then left Ismaily to join Qatari club Al-Sadd for
$1,000,000, a record transfer fee in Qatar at the time.

John Utaka played for a host of European clubs such as Lens, Rennes,
Portsmouth and Montpellier HSC, who he won the Ligue 1 title with during
the 2011/12 season under Rene Girard. Utaka is the third player to join
Ismaily SC this transfer window after signing former Real Betis
left-back Amro Tarek and Amr Abdel-Fattah from Kuwaiti side Khaitan SC.
