Career

Early career

Hakeem played for Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Coners Babies FC at the early stages of his career.[5] He later featured for Ghana Division One League side Bibiani Gold Stars.[4][6]

King Faisal

Ahead of the 2019–20 Ghana Premier League season, Hakeem was signed by Kumasi-based club King Faisal Babes. In December 2019, he was named as captain of the side.[7] He made his debut in the first match of the season on 29 December 2019 in a 4–1 loss to Dreams FC.[8] In February 2020, after an unimpressive run of matches with King Faisal languishing at the bottom of the table with 4 points as a result of drawing 4 matches and suffered 5 defeats in 9 league games, as captain he spoke at a club press conference and called on the supporters of the club to remain calm and keep supporting them in the difficult times.[9] The league was later put on hold in March 2020 and cancelled in July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He made 8 league matches that season.[10] He later parted ways with the club after the two parties mutually terminated his contract in October 2020.[6][11]

Great Olympics

In October 2020, after parting ways with King Faisal, he signed a two-year contract with Teshie-based club Accra Great Olympics.[4][12] Ahead of the 2020–21 Ghana Premier League season, he was named on the club's squad list for the season.[1][13]

He didn't feature for the club but was named on the bench for 10 matches,[10] before being released by the club at the end of the first round of the league season.[14][15]
