On deadline day, 31 August 2022, Bakiz joined fellow league club AaB on a deal until June 2026.[9] He made his competitive debut for the club four days later, coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute for Allan Sousa in a 2–0 away win over Midtjylland.[10] [11] On 14 October, he scored his first goals for AaB, a brace, which secured a 2–0 victory against Lyngby.[12] He scored another brace on 30 October against his former side Brøndby in AaB's 3–2 away loss.[13]
