Career

Abdulazeez played for a local team in his hometown 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]
