Matan Naor

Naor continued the following season with Hapoel Tel Aviv, and played a number of games in the Premier League and in Europe.

However, Naor showed instability, which led to his benching and was later released from the national team ahead of the European Championship.

During the 2006/2007 season Naor played injured for a long period, during that time he missed the decisive stages of the National Cup, which his team won.

Towards the end of the season Naor recovered from the severe injury, but could not get back in game shape and could not help the team in the Final Four where they lost to Macabi Tel Aviv.

On July 2018, Naor signed a one-year deal with Hapoel Hevel Modi'in, where he won the Liga Artzit championship and by that winning the title for two consecutive years.
