Club career

Born to a British Pakistani father and English mother, Karim began his professional football career with Bury, later joining Altrincham for a few months but then joined Bangor City in the 2005–06 season. He was released at the end of the 2006–07 season despite being a fairly impressive performer. He later joined Chorley, but in September 2007 linked up again with his former Bangor manager Clayton Blackmore when he joined Porthmadog.[4] At the same time, he was also playing for Rochdale club Asia F.C.[5]

Docker parted company with Porthmadog in 2008. In late 2009 he was playing for Canaries FC in the Lancashire Evening Post Sunday football league[6] and captained them to victory in the Asian Community Cup final held at Stamford Bridge.[7]

In February 2010, Docker joined Salford City[8] but after a short period asked to be released[9] and subsequently joined FC United of Manchester.[10] He played one match for the club, coming on as a substitute. He later joined Chadderton in November 2010,[11] scoring in the one and only match he played for the club.[12] Docker then joined Ashton United in November 2010.,[13] playing 3 games in February 2011.[14]

International call-up

In October 2007, Docker was called up by Pakistan.[15] He was an unused substitute in a 2010 FIFA World Cup group play-off match against Iraq.[16]
