What has been said about Ali Al Hamadi recently?
Earlier this month Al Hamadi netted a hat-trick against Tranmere Rovers, where he spent some time as a youngster, in League Two.
The young striker has struggled to convert his chances prior to the game against Tranmere Rovers.
“No one here was worried about him scoring goals because you’re seeing how well he’s playing, seeing how many chances we’re creating for him as a team, how many he’s creating for himself by his own devilment.
“We knew they’d come for him. It’s ironic how in one week you get one, and then the next week you go and get your hat-trick. Delighted for Ali, it’ll do him the world of good.”
