One year later, Shechter moved to the youth club F.C. Emek Izra'el and helped the club promote in four seasons from the fourth league to the first league in youth football. Three years after moving to Emek Izra'el, the youth club was joined to the youth club of Hapoel Nazareth Illit, which played in the Israeli Premier League at the same season, and the new club was renamed Hapoel Nazareth Illit/Emek Izra'el.

In 2006, Shechter moved to Maccabi Netanya because he wanted to move to a bigger club than Nazareth Illit, who had just been relegated to Liga Leumit.

In his three season with Maccabi Netanya, he would score twenty-one in eighty-three appearance.
