Teesside whilst trialing for Englishpremier league teamMiddlesbrough F.C. . Middlesbrough managerGareth Southgate decided not to make a bid for the prolific marksmen, Middlesbrough did however sign fellow team mate and trialistMohamed Shawky .In the
2008 Africa Cup of Nations , Egypt's CoachHassan Shehata named him as giving the best effort for the team in the tournament.Some have commented that his combination with
Mohamed Aboutrika andMohamed Barakat formed the most formidable triangle in African Football, and they were given the moniker of "The Bermuda Triangle."
