Having returned to Busaiteen in the 2019–20 season, Abdulhameed renewed his contract with the team in November 2020, for a further year. His contract was renewed for an additional season once again in mid-2021.

International career
Abdulhameed was due to be called up to the Bahrain national team in 2009, ahead of the 19th Arabian Gulf Cup; however, coach Milan Máčala excluded him from the final list as he was busy with club duty with Al-Nasr that season.

Abdulhameed was included in the 23-man Bahrain roster at the 2011 AFC Asian Cup. He also participated in the 2011 Pan Arab Games, helping Bahrain win their first competition.
