His football career dates back to 1976 when he first appeared in the national schools’ football tournament. He got promoted to regional level representing his home Hiiraan region in the 1979 regional football tournament.

The regional tournament became a platform for him to showcase his talent and from there he was recruited by Batroolka Football Club where he had an illustrious playing career until late 1980s.

For the past 4 years, he served as an advisor to the Minister of Youth and Sport of the Federal Government of Somalia.
