Alireza Haghighi
Alireza Haghighi (Persian: ⓘ; born 6 May 1988) is an Iranian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.
Having joined the senior squad of Persepolis at the age of 16, he made his debut in the match against Saipa on 17 October 2006. He saved a very important penalty against the legendary Ali Daei. Haghighi had been playing for Persepolis Youth teams since 2002, after being scouted by coaches of Persepolis Football School in the past years. He started the 2007–08 season with two other goalkeepers already ahead of him in the pecking order at Persepolis (Hassan Roudbarian, Team Melli's number one and Mehdi Vaezi, who was also invited to the national team, but never capped). During this season, Haghighi did not play at all but extended his contract at the end of the season.
During the 2008–09 season, Haghighi was lucky to play in every game because of injuries to two other goalkeepers, making Haghighi the first keeper for every game. Statistically, he was the number-one keeper during this season. He trained under legendary Iranian keeper Ahmad Reza Abedzadeh.
In the 2007–08 season, he captained Persepolis for the first time in the 2–1 victory against Saipa, making him the youngest captain of Persepolis in its history.
In December 2011, Russian Premier League side Rubin Kazan sent a transfer request to Persepolis. He officially left Persepolis on 9 January 2012. On 14 January 2012, Haghighi signed a 4-year deal with Rubin Kazan. He signed a contract with the Russian club on 11 January and made his debut three days later in a pre-season friendly match.
On 18 July 2013, Haghighi returned to Persepolis and signed a six-month loan contract with the club. On 23 October 2013, Haghighi played in a 5–1 win over Padideh Shandiz in a Hazfi Cup match, marking his first match for Persepolis after 18 months. He then played another Hazfi Cup match against Alvand Hamedan, in which he kept a clean sheet.
His loan contract ended on 3 December 2013.
Haghighi was called back to the Rubin Kazan side during the 2014 winter transfer period. In January 2014, Haghighi signed a loan contract with Portuguese Segunda Liga side Sporting Covilhã, on loan from Rubin Kazan. With Haghighi in the net, Sporting Covilha avoided relegation. After 14 appearances with the club, Haghighi's loan contract ended and he returned to Rubin.
