Refael "Rafi" Dahan ( Hebrew: רפי דהן; born 28 September 1989) is a former Israeli footballer who last played for Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv as a defensive midfielder.
Dahan was born in Or Akiva, Israel, to a Jewish family. [1]
Dahan grew up in the Beitar Nes Tubruk youth academy. In 2009, Hapoel Petah Tikva signed Dahan and by his second season with the club, Dahan had established himself as a first team player. In 2011, he signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv. [2]
