Shon Weissman

Shon Zalman Weissman (or Sean, Hebrew: שון זלמן וייסמן; born 14 February 1996) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a forward for the Israel national team.

An academy graduate of Israeli side Maccabi Haifa, Weissman made his senior debut for the club in 2014 before spending three seasons on loan with Hapoel Acre, Maccabi Netanya, and Ironi Kiryat Shmona. At Maccabi Netanya, he scored 12 goals as the club achieved promotion to the Israeli Premier League. In the 2019–20 season, while playing with Austrian side Wolfsberger AC, he became the club's first goalscorer in a European competition and was the Austrian Bundesliga's top scorer with 30 goals from 31 matches. He then moved to Spain, representing Real Valladolid and Granada in La Liga and the Segunda División.

Formerly an Israel youth international, Weissman represented the nation from under-17 level. He made his senior international debut in September 2019.

Weissman was born and raised in the neighbourhood of Kiryat Haim of the city of Haifa, Israel, to an Israeli family of Ashkenazi Jewish and Sephardi Jewish descent. His parents divorced when he was 13, and he lived with his mother Varda and his younger brother Shoval. His grandmother is a Holocaust survivor.

Weissman started his career with Israeli hometown club, Maccabi Haifa. On 20 January 2014, 17-year-old Weissman made his senior debut in the Israeli Premier League match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. He came off the bench in the 79th minute, replacing Ran Abukarat. He ended the season with 10 league appearances, while only appearing in two games in the following season.[citation needed]

On 19 August 2015, Weissman signed for fellow Israeli Premier League club Hapoel Acre on a season-long loan from Maccabi Haifa. After scoring no goals in 18 appearances, the loan deal was cancelled in January 2016.

For the 2016–17 season, Weissman was sent on a season-long loan again, this time to second division club Maccabi Netanya. He managed to score 12 goals in 21 league appearances, helping Maccabi Netanya achieve promotion to the Israeli Premier League as they were crowned champions at the end of the season.

In the following season, Weissman made one appearance for Maccabi Haifa before being sent out on loan once again in August 2017, this time to fellow Premier League side Ironi Kiryat Shmona. In September 2017, in a league match against F.C. Ashdod, Weissman scored his first goal on the highest level of Israeli football in a 2–0 win for Ironi Kiryat Shmona. He made 26 league appearances for the club, scoring three times.
