Career

The Saint George attacking midfielder who signed from Awassa in the summer of 2011, is a fantastically skilful player, with lots of tricks and flicks, and has a fantastic close control. He separated himself early as one of talented footballers at a young age when he was playing for one of the two Awassa's under 15 youth teams. His body is also superbly built for long dazzling runs past opposition players. Shimelis appeared with Ethiopia in 2012 AFCON Qualifying, and emerged as one of the best players in Iffy Onuora's team which was eliminated from the final stages of the tournament. 2 December 2010, was one of the stand-out performances of his career, scoring two fine goals as Ethiopia beat Kenya 2-1 at Cecafa Challenge Cup in Tanzania. This was the day when Shimelis began to be recognized as one of the most promising talents in Ethiopian football. He can play wide or behind a striker.
