Warriors FC

Following the underwhelming stint with the LionsXII in the Malaysia Super League, Abdil returned from abroad to rejoin his boyhood club Warriors FC for the 2013 S.League season.

On 19 February 2014, Abdil's contract with the Warriors FC was officially terminated, with a misunderstanding between the player and the club's general manager Chong Wei Chiang over a right knee injury, and the player's performance in the league's mandatory fitness test cited as primary reasons for the termination. [3]
