I'll take this one on. Four months is far too long to be waiting and it should be pretty straightforward. I'll get a review up asap.

• Is Ref 1 (Global Sports Archive) a reliable source? I only ask as it's not a site I'm familiar with.
• From what I can see, it's more typical to use the full name of Major League Soccer on the first use. So the sentence "began his senior career at Sporting Kansas City in the MLS" might be better as "began his career with Major League Soccer side Sporting Kansas City in..."
• "moved to Thailand at BEC Tero Sasana" with rather than at?
• Is there a need for the citizenship links to the US and Lebanon. It seems a bit close to WP:OVERLINK unless there's a genuine need for the link?
• I'm wondering if the first two subsections here (Michigan Wolves and Vardar) may be better off merged. They only amount to four sentences in total, so merging them under a single "early career" heading or similar seems more appropriate perhaps
• "Deaborn" > Dearborn
• "Unable to sign for a club in Europe", was there an issue with him joining, as it sounds like he was denied by circumstances beyond his control at the moment. If he simply didn't earn a deal somewhere, might need rewording to something like "However, he was unable to secure a move..."
• "during his 19th birthday", on his 19th birthday perhaps?
• "his side survive relegation", survive relegation sounds a little odd, avoid instead?
• "deflected in goal" > into the goal
• "His first-minute debut came three days later", what's a first-mimute debut?
• Two of the dates listed here are April 4, I'm guessing one is incorrect.
• What's his current status, was he released by the club? The lead shows him as unattached but there's no mention of him leaving the club here.
• "With the start, Saad made his international debut", I don't think with the start is necessary here as it reads a little oddly.
That's pretty much all that I can see. The refs are well formatted and a spot check on a few comes back fine for verification. Placing on hold while the points above are addressed. Kosack ( talk) 09:50, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
