Club career
[edit]Born in Lagos,[1] Alimi spent his early career with Westerlo and Metalurh Donetsk.[2] He later played for Tavriya Simferopol, Olympiakos Nicosia, Sharks, Shooting Stars, Kano Pillars and Akwa United.[1][3]
Jamiu joined Akwa United on a two-year deal from Kano Pillars, during the 2017–18 mid-season transfer window.[4] On 27 February 2019, he was loaned out to El-Kanemi for the rest of the season because of lack of playing time after falling out of favour with Akwa United manager Rafael Everton.[5] In September 2019 it was confirmed that he had joined Sunshine Stars.[6]
