Career
Maccabi Netanya

In 4 seasons with Netanya he managed to play 125 games, score 6 goals and also provided 3 assists in all club competitions.
Maccabi Tel Aviv
On 11 July 2013 after 4 years in the senior side of Netanya he moved to Maccabi Tel Aviv for a fee of $558,000. Omri signed a three-year contract with Tel Aviv.[1] He made his debut for the club on 30 July 2013 in an away Champions League match against F.C. Basel. Ben Harush started the season well, after giving a chance in the first team line-up due to an injury of Maccabi's original left-back, Mané. He was lined-up in the historic 3-0 away win in Kiryat Eliezer Stadium against Maccabi Haifa in the 3rd gameweek of the Israeli Premier League, after Maccabi had failed to win there for more than 9 years. His performances for Maccabi at the start of the season granted him a newly call for the national team, and he was lined-up in the away match against Portugal on 11 October 2013. Ben Harush scored his debut goal for the club during the away match on 23 November 2013, against Hapoel Haifa.
