The 34-year-old defender parted ways with Esteghlal weeks ago after six years. His decision came as the club's officials did not contact him for the extension of the contract this summer.

Ghafouri was the primary captain of Esteghlal during the past seasons and is considered one of the most favorite players among fans.
