Saadiq Abdukadir Mohamud ( born 15 Jan. 1996) commonly known as Saadiq is a (Kenyan born) Somali International attacking midfielder who currently plays for AFC Leopards. Saadiq can also play wing and striker as he has for the Somali National Team. At 15, Saadiq began attracting attention from clubs across Kenya but the Banadir Sports Club Vice Chairman also knew about his talents and persuaded him to make a move to Mogadishu.

He finally got his chance in Somali's top-flight league a year later. Saadiq scored two goals in his home debut – in his first five games he scored five goals and assisted on three- and quickly became a fan favorite at Banadir. He led his team to the final of Janaral Daud Cup, where he scored in the first minutes and propelled his team to a 3-1 victory. That Cup win marked Banadir's first trophy in 5 years and Saadiq’s first international call-up.

Saadiq came back to Kenya in 2013 after one successeful season in Somalia. In June 2013, he signed a two-year deal with one of Kenya's heavyweight’s, the new look AFC Leopards under Luc Eymeal. At just 17 years old, he was the youngest player in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL). Saadiq made his debut for AFC Leopards as a substitute against Sofapaka in a critical 1-0 win and subsequently became the youngest player to get a start in the league and the first Somali International to every play in KPL. In 2013, he won his first professional medal with AFC Leopards when they won the GO TV Shield in a 1-0 win over archrivals Gor Mahia. Saadiq’s leadership and exemplary performance for the Somalia National Team in the 2013 CECAFA Cup awakened the region to the budding talent in the #10 jersey.
