Ali Abdullah Harib Al-Habsi (born December 30 , 1981 ) is an Omani Goalkeeper who plays Football for Bolton Wanderers in England .

Ali started playing in his native Oman at the age of seventeen, and joined the ranks of the Oman under-19s squad, before in 2001 he was spotted by John Burridge . Due to the difficulty of securing a work permit, he was unable to join the top English league.

Al-Habsi then played three seasons for Norwegian club F.C. Lyn Oslo , and was voted Goalkeeper of the Year in 2004. He finished his Lyn career with a third-place finish in the league - his goalkeeping abilities being one of the main reasons behind this good finish.

In 2004 Ali was voted Arab Goalkeeper of the Year and at this early stage could easily be competition for established Finland international Jussi Jaaskelainen .

Bolton Manager Sam Allardyce said: "It is very satisfying to finally sign Ali. We've been monitoring his development for quite some time and I am delighted that he has selected us ahead of a number of other high profile clubs who were keen to sign him."
