Early life
editHaidar was born in Drammen, Norway and grew up in the capital Oslo,[3] where he lived in the Klemetsrud neighborhood.[4]
Club career
editVålerenga
edit2008 season
editHaidar played for Klemetsrud's youth sector until he joined Vålerenga's youth department in 2001.[5] He signed a professional contract with the club in 2008,[citation needed] making his debut against Lyn on 15 September as a substitute.[citation needed] In total, Haidar made three appearances for Vålerenga in all competitions in the 2008 season, also winning the Norwegian Cup in his first season as a professional.[6]
2009: Loan to Skeid
editIn 2009, he was loaned out to Skeid for the entire season, where he made 11 appearances in the First Division.[7]
2010 season
editHe returned to Vålerenga for the 2010 season and scored his first and second ever senior goals for Vålerenga in his first game since returning from loan against Oppsal in the Norwegian Cup of 2010.[citation needed] He then played his first Tippeligaen game of the season against Start in an 8–1 win.[citation needed] He finished the season with six appearances and scoring two goals in all competitions.[citation needed]
2011 season
editIn the 2011 season, he played ten games in the Tippeligaen, one game in the Norwegian Cup and one game in the UEFA Europa League before getting injured late into the season.[citation needed] It was later confirmed that Haidar had been ruled out for the rest of the season.[citation needed]
At the end of the season he was released by Vålerenga and became free agent, but before being released he was offered a new contract at Vålerenga but chose to reject the offer because he wanted more first team football.[8][9] In total he made 21 appearances and scored two goals over three seasons for Vålerenga.[citation needed]
He later went to Burnley on trial, but returned without a contract. He rejected a new trial proposal at Burnley two weeks later.[10]
Stabæk

Haidar stayed with Stabæk after the team was relegated to the First Division, and was a part of the team that won promotion to the Tippeligaen after only one season at the second tier.[citation needed] After the promotion was secured, Haidar was released from his contract and free to find himself a new club.[12]
