Early life

Dauda has vertical scars under each of his eyes which are family markings that were given to him shortly after birth.[1] He has eleven siblings in his family.

Career

edit

Early career

edit

Dauda was discovered in Nigeria by an agent Victor Mcdonald at age eighteen. He was playing with Grassroot Highlanders.[2] Mcdonald helped him to get signed with Swedish fourth tier club Sölvesborgs GoIF.[3] His time there was very successful and he was named the best forward of the division in 2007 which made several Allsvenskan clubs want to sign him.[4]

Kalmar

edit

In the end he decided to join Kalmar FF the following year. During his time there he very rarely got to play the full 90 minutes in games[5] but he still had a prolific 2012 season where he scored a total of 14 goals. After the season had ended he declared that he was leaving the club to look for a new challenge.[6] During his spell with Kalmar, he won the Swedish championship in 2008 and the Swedish Supercup in 2009, besides having been twice runner-up of the Swedish Cup, in 2008 and 2011.[7]

Red Star Belgrade

edit

On 8 February 2013, which was the last day of the transfer market window in Jelen Super Liga Dauda signed a contract with Red Star Belgrade.[8] The first occasion on which Dauda scored for Red Star came on 3 April 2013, when he scored two goals and provided an assist for teammate Darko Lazović in a 3–0 win at home against Hajduk Kula.[9]

Vitesse

edit

On 21 July 2014, Red Star Belgrade announced they had agreed a €500,000 fee for the transfer of Dauda to Eredivisie club Vitesse Arnhem.

Heart of Midlothian

edit

On 1 February 2016, Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian signed him on a loan deal for the remainder of the season.[10] He scored his first goals for the club when he scored a brace in the league against Ross County on 10 February 2016.[11]

Atromitos

edit

On 9 January 2017, Dauda signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Greek Superleague club Atromitos on a free transfer from Vitesse.[12] His five goals in the 2016–17 Greek Cup made him top scorer for the season.[13]

Dauda scored as Atromitos beat AEK Athens 1–0 to go top of the table on 23 October 2017.[14] His goal on 28 January 2018 secured a 1–0 home win over AEL, and two goals in the last match of the season took his personal total to nine.[15] The 4–0 home win against Kerkyra gave Atromitos a fourth-place finish.[16]

Giresunspor

edit

Dauda spent the 2018–19 season with TFF First League (Turkish second-tier) club Giresunspor, for which he scored 12 goals from 28 league appearances.[17][7]

AEL

edit

Dauda returned to the Greek Superleague with AEL on a three-year contract.[18]

Panetolikos

edit

On 16 January 2020, following his release from AEL, he joined Panetolikos on a six-month contract.[19] In his debut, two days later, he salvaged a point in a home game against Lamia, with a last-minute penalty.[20] On 22 January 2020, Abiola Dauda, who recently moved from Larissa to Panetolikos a few days ago, struck a brace, first in the 28th minute after dribbling past the goalkeeper and slotting the ball into the net, and in the 63rd minute when his left-footed strike gave the visitors a 0–2 lead in a thrilling 2–2 away draw against AEL.[21]

Apollon Smyrnis

edit

On 4 September 2020, he signed with Apollon Smyrnis on a free transfer.[22]
