After only two seasons, specifically in the 2006–07 season (when Yasser Al-Qahtani moved to Al-Hilal with the largest deal ever at that time), Sahlawi broke into the first team squad so he had to assume responsibility of the Al-Qadisiya attack alongside his teammate Yousef Al-Salem.
Setelah hanya dua musim, khususnya di musim 2006-07 (saat Yasser Al-Qahtani pindah ke Al-Hilal dengan kesepakatan terbesar yang pernah ada saat itu), Sahlawi masuk ke dalam skuat tim utama sehingga dia harus memikul tanggung jawab Al- Serangan Qadisiya di samping rekan setimnya Yousef Al-Salem.
