Career

Abdulazeez played for a local team in his home town of Akure before a move to Zamfara State from where he secured a move to the Savannah Scorpions of Gombe United, whom he helped to gain promotion to the NPFL in 2020.[1][2] Playing for Gombe United, Abdulazee finished as the joint second highest scorer in the 2021–22 Nigeria Professional League, scoring 16 goals, 3 goals shy of the league top scorer Chijioke Akuneto of Rivers United.[3]

A transfer to Swedish side Mjällby AIF of the Allsvenskan was agreed in September 2022. He signed a three-year deal to keep him in Listerlandet until 2025.[4] He made his league debut for Mjälby on 16 October 2022 in a 3–0 home defeat against Hammarby IF.[5]
