Abdul Zubairu (born 3 October 1998) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Slovak Niké liga club Zemplín Michalovce.
Zubairu made his Fortuna Liga debut for AS Trenčín against Slovan Bratislava on 25 February 2016.[2]
He played for AS Trenčín 7 consecutive seasons in the Slovak top tier, and in the summer of 2022, he moved to the region of former-Yugoslavia and joined the well-established Bosnian top-tier side HŠK Zrinjski. However, his stay was short, as he moved to Serbia in the following winter break to reinforce FK Kolubara which was struggling in its first-ever season at the top level.
A dynamic and diminutive player, standing at just 1.65 m, Zubairu is known for his energy and ball-winning abilities as a box-to-box midfielder in the centre of the pitch. He is also capable as a playmaker, and has been likened to N'Golo Kanté.[3]
