Fancy a crack at the Saudi Pro League? Well, bizarrely they have publicly advertised for a defensive midfielder on a jobs website. The employer is shown as Saudi Pro League and the logo can be seen on the web page along with their demands of prospective applicants. The Saudi Pro League also require the player to be a free agent or one with an agent that controls 100 percent of the footballer rather than divided ownership. The country will host the World Cup in 2034 but it remains to be seen whether there will be sustained or increased interest in the Saudi Pro League.
