Club career

Sani started playing professionally in Katsina United, but soon, at 17 years, he went to Italy and signed with Atalanta Bergamo. After one season, he signed with top Belgian club Club Brugge where he stayed until 2003.[1] In the last season he was loaned, in the last half of the season, to FC Brussels, known in that period by the name of KFC Strombeek.[2] In summer 2003, he moved to Israel to play in Hapoel Be'er Sheva. A series of injuries made him almost give up, but in December 2006, he signed with a lower Italian league side Alghero Calcio, where he expected to return to his maximum form. In 2008, he moved to Serbia to play in FK Radnički Kragujevac.[3]
