## Career

Ibrahim was born in [Ibadan](/source/Ibadan), and began his football career with his hometown club, Greater Tomorrow, as a youngster. He also played for Liberty Boys, Nigerdock and [Eagle Cement](/source/Eagle_Cement) before moving to [Poland](/source/Poland) to sign for [Wisła Kraków](/source/Wis%C5%82a_Krak%C3%B3w) for the 1997–98 season.[1] He made his [Ekstraklasa](/source/Ekstraklasa) debut on 28 March 1998 in an away match against [KSZO Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski](/source/KSZO_Ostrowiec_%C5%9Awi%C4%99tokrzyski). Taking the field as a 72nd-minute [substitute](/source/Substitute_(association_football)), he scored the only goal of the game seven minutes later. He finished the season with ten Ekstraklasa appearances, all but one as a substitute, and three goals.[2] The following season he made 13 appearances as Wisła won the [1998–99 Ekstraklasa](/source/1998%E2%80%9399_Ekstraklasa) title, and played in the finals of the 2001 and 2002 [Ekstraklasa Cup](/source/Ekstraklasa_Cup) and the 2001–02 [Polish Cup](/source/Polish_Cup).[3][4] He played several times for the club in the [UEFA Cup](/source/UEFA_Cup) and [Champions League](/source/UEFA_Champions_League).[5]

In 2003, he spent a few months on loan at Ekstraklasa club [KSZO Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski](/source/KSZO_Ostrowiec_%C5%9Awi%C4%99tokrzyski), but on his return to Wisła was only picked for the reserves, so he chose to leave. He joined Chinese club [Chengdu Wuniu](/source/Chengdu_Blades_F.C.)[6] and then [Strømsgodset](/source/Str%C3%B8msgodset_IF) in the Norwegian [Adeccoligaen](/source/Adeccoligaen),[7] before returning to the Ekstraklasa with [Zagłębie Lubin](/source/Zag%C5%82%C4%99bie_Lubin). He again played in the Polish Cup Final, in 2006,[8] but had problems with weight and fitness.[6] After surgery on a knee injury and subsequent rehabilitation, he went on to play in the lower divisions of the Polish league with [Hutnik Kraków](/source/Hutnik_Krak%C3%B3w),[9] [GKP Gorzów Wielkopolski](/source/GKP_Gorz%C3%B3w_Wielkopolski), [Stal Rzeszów](/source/Stal_Rzesz%C3%B3w_(football)) and [Warta Sieradz](/source/Warta_Sieradz).[1]
