His performance in the Norwegian league earned him a two-year contract with Chinese club Guangzhou R&F.
After his experience in China and finishing among the top three scorers for two consecutive years, Hamdallah began playing in the Gulf.
In 2016, while playing for Qatari club El-Jaish, Hamdallah became the top scorer of the local league, as well as the domestic cup. In 2017 and 2018, he also finished in the top three of the rankings.
Finally, in 2019 and 2020, after his transfer to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Hamdallah dominated the SPL, winning the Top Scorer title in the two seasons.
In 53 SPL games so far, Hamdallah scored 63 goals, averaging one goal every 73 minutes.
