Early life[edit]

Career[edit]
FC Viikingit[edit]
On 16 May 2009, Abdulahi made his senior debut for the second-tier club. He showed immediate success in midfield. During the start year of 2010, he also made his international debut for Finland's U21 team.
Örebro SK[edit]
On 30 July 2010, Örebro SK announced that they had signed Abdulahi on a long-term contract.[1] The lad had a trial with the club in the mid of June 2010 and the club decided to sign him after making a good trial. While signing for Örebro SK, he was described as a dynamic defense midfielder with great working capacity and much potential.
Vikingur Reykjavik[edit]
In the 2011 season Denis played against Knattspyrnufelag Vesturbæjar in the Visa Cup. Denis was sent off for head butting Arnar Smarason (AKA Kaiser) who was wearing a buff on the pitch. He received a 2 match ban[2] for this horrendous incident. Denis was never the same player afterwards and some people say that Smarason was the reason why his career never went off.
