Both players had recently undergone trials with top-flight Tunisian club Étoile du Sahel but were unable to secure contracts. Avenir de La Marsa have since stepped in to complete deals for the duo as part of their ongoing squad rebuild.

The club also announced the signing of Ivorian midfielder Ricky Hans, with all three players expected to strengthen the team’s push in the upcoming season.
