Career Summary

Ennali arrived at Houston in July 2024 on a full transfer from Górnik Zabrze in Poland, marking the largest U22 initiative signing in Club history for the Dynamo. The German winger featured in five matches across Leagues Cup and regular season play in 2024, including Houston’s 2-0 victory versus LAFC, where he notched his first MLS goal. Unfortunately, he suffered a significant knee injury in the same match, making him miss the remainder of the 2024 season.

Ennali made his return to the pitch in the 81st minute versus Sporting Kansas City on May 31, 2025, before going on to record 18 appearances, one goal and four assists for the season. Notably, he was named as a finalist for the 2025 MLS Comeback Player of the Year award. 

Before joining the Dynamo, Ennali made 70 professional appearances (40 starts) and recorded eight goals and two assists during his three-season stint in Europe. He made his professional debut with Hannover 96 in Germany’s Bundesliga in August 2021, before joining Rot-Weiss Essen on loan in Germany’s third division for the 2022 season and Górnik Zabrze in Poland’s first tier for the 2023 season.

Latest transaction: Signed on a full transfer through 2026 with club option through 2027. 

Dynamo Debut: July 7, 2024, versus Atlas FC (Leagues Cup).
