Club career

edit

Early career

edit

Malik started playing football at the Al-Minaa Academy,[2] and was able to win with Al-Minaa U16 team the Basra Clubs Youth League in 2009.[3]

Naft Al-Basra

edit

In 2011, Malik moved to play for Iraq Stars League club Naft Al-Basra.[2] On 6 May 2011, he scored his first goal in the Iraq Stars League against Al-Hindiya, in a match that ended in a 1–0 victory for Naft Al-Basra, which resulted in Al-Hindiya being relegated to the Iraqi First Division League.[4][5]

Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya & Return to Naft Al-Basra

edit

On 30 July 2015, Malik moved to Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya,[6] but didn't play much with the team. After eight rounds in the league, he was released by the club's management.[7]

On 1 December 2015, during the winter transfer period, Naft Al-Basra re-signed Malik on the recommendation of the new coach, Hassan Muwla.[8][9]

Al-Minaa

edit

On 8 June 2016, Malik signed with Al-Minaa.[10] He scored 12 goals during the two first seasons and his contract was renewed for another season.[11] In a season in which the club suffered from a financial crisis and administrative disputes, Malik scored 4 goals and renewed his contract for an additional year, unlike some players who refused to renew and moved to other clubs.[12] In his fourth season at the club, he scored two goals in eight games, but the league was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.[13] The following season, the player's contract was renewed,[14] and he played until 9 June 2021, scoring 6 goals during that period, but he was released by the club's management for technical reasons.[15]

Return to Naft Al-Basra again

edit

In 2021–22 season, Malik returned to Naft Al-Basra again, and in his first match against his former team, Al-Minaa, he scored a goal in a match that ended with his team winning 3–1, becoming the top scorer in the Basra derby with four goals.[16] In August 2022, his contract was renewed for an additional season.[17]

International career

edit

Malik was first picked to represent Iraq in 2012, when the under-17 coach Adel Nima selected him to be a part of his 23-man squad to play in Arab School Sports Games in Kuwait,[18] in which they won the football gams and won gold medals.[19] Malik scored the first winning goals in the final.[20]

In April 2013 he was called up by under-20 coach Hakim Shaker as part of the 26-man squad for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[21] He was also selected by the coach Hadi Mtanesh to be part of the Olympic squad to play in the 2013 Islamic Solidarity Games in Indonesia.[22]
