Al-Amin Kazeem (born 6 April 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back or winger, for League of Ireland Premier Division club St Patrick's Athletic.

Club career

Maldon & Tiptree loan

Al-Amin Kazeem was signed by Colchester United as a youth player in 2017. He was sent out on loan to Isthmian League side Maldon & Tiptree for the 2019–20 season. He was a part of the side that reached the second round of the FA Cup for the first time in the club's history.^[2]

Colchester United

On returning from loan to Colchester United, Kazeem signed a two-year contract with The U's.^[1] Kazeem had to wait until the 2022–23 season to get his chance with the first team, making his debut in an EFL Cup game against Ipswich Town. He gained high praise for Colchester manager Wayne Brown, with the manager saying "I don't like to individualize after games but Al-Amin for me making his debut against a real top class (team)...I thought his one for one defending was exceptional."^[3]

Galway United loan

On 8 February 2024, Kazeem signed for newly promoted League of Ireland Premier Division side Galway United on a half-season loan.^[4] On 30 June 2024, the club announced that Kazeem had departed following the end of his loan spell, turning down a permanent contract offer from Galway after his Colchester United contract had expired on the same day.^[5]

St Patrick's Athletic

On 1 July 2024, Kazeem signed a multi-year contract with League of Ireland Premier Division club St Patrick's Athletic.^[6]^[7] He made his debut for the club on 4 June 2024, replacing Anthony Breslin in the 79th minute of a 1–0 loss away to Waterford.^[8] On 1 August 2024, he made his first career appearance in European competition, coming off the bench away to Vaduz of Liechtenstein as his side drew 2–2 at the Rheinpark Stadion for a 5–3 aggregate win, to set up a tie with Sabah of Azerbaijan.^[9] On 30 September 2024, Kazeem scored his first goal for the club, an 88th minute winner in a 3–2 victory in a Dublin Derby away to rivals Shelbourne which he scored with his first touch of the game having replaced Brandon Kavanagh from the bench a minute earlier.^[10] On 8 October 2024, Kazeem was part of the Pats side that defeated St Mochta's 2–1 in the final of the 2023–24 Leinster Senior Cup.^[11]

Style of Play

Kazeem plays as a left-back primarily. He is very strong, quick and willing to defend, with his manager Wayne Brown stating after his debut "You've seen his fitness first and foremost but also his physical presence to get out to the ball and want to defend. "That's a rarity nowadays, where you have people who actually want to defend."^[3]

International career

Kazeem is eligible to play for both England and Nigeria as he holds dual citizenship for both countries.^[12]
