Former national team goalkeeper Justin Haber has decided to try out a career in local politics as he will be contesting the local council elections for a seat in the Floriana Local Council.
Haber’s connection to Floriana spans a long time, with the decorated keeper coming out of the Green’s esteemed academy and playing a total of 49 matches across two spells with the club, also making his senior debut there. The first spell came from 1998 to 2002 with Haber’s second spell with the club being only a year long from 2016 to 2017.
Haber is one of Malta’s most decorated football players even having played abroad for clubs in France, Belgium, Greece and most notably English team Sheffield United and Hungarian giants Ferencvárosi TC.
Justin has also gained fame in other areas not only football, with his seafood restaurant Haber 16 appearing on Netflix show, Restaurant On The Edge.
Haber will be hoping that his newfound career in politics will be as successful as the one he had on the pitch.
