Club career[]

Born in Berlin, Ben-Hatira started his football career playing for local club Reinickendorfer Füchse before moving to TeBe Berlin, where he spent most of his youth. Following a spell at Hertha BSC, he was signed by Hamburger SV.[2]

Ben-Hatira made his Bundesliga debut on 24 February 2007 against Eintracht Frankfurt, coming on as a substitute for Mehdi Mahdavikia.[3] He made his first Bundesliga start against Wolfsburg on 1 April 2007.[4] Hamburg extended his contract until 2012.[5] On 1 February 2009, he joined MSV Duisburg on a loan until 30 June 2009[6] and was subsequently loaned out to MSV Duisburg for another season.

On the final day of the 2011 summer transfer window, Ben-Hatira returned to Hertha BSC.[9] He moved to Eintracht Frankfurt on 1 February 2016.[10]

Ben-Hatira signed for SV Darmstadt 98 on 22 August 2016.[11] He was released on 25 January 2017 by mutual agreement and due to alleged connections he has with Düsseldorf based organization , which has been described by the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia's internal intelligence agency as being "tightly interwoven in the Salafist movement".[12]

On 1 February 2017, Ben-Hatira joined Süper Lig side Gaziantepspor on a contract until June, with the option of a further year.[13]
