Yaniv Azran grew up in the youth system of F.C. Ashdod in Israel.1
After finishing the 2005-06 season in Ashdod and seeing little playing time, Nir Klinger signed Azran to a two year contract worth $120,000 a year while managing Paralimni.2 After a failed stint playing in Cyprus, he returned to Ashdod and finished the season with 15 goals. His achievement did not go unnoticed by European clubs, he was said to be on his way to Spain if he could secure a Polish passport (Azran is of Polish descent on his mother's side).1
