The Iraqi club Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya has officially announced this Wednesday the signing of Tunisian striker Haythem Jouini, who arrived as a free agent.The deal was finalized after fierce competition among several interested Iraqi clubs, but it was Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya who managed to persuade the player, thanks to their strong position in the league standings last season.A former Espérance Sportive de Tunis player, Jouini, 32, played 23 matches last season with the Emirati club Dibba Al-Hisn, scoring 7 goals and providing 4 assists.
