Club career

Jalal, born to Kurdish parents in Baghdad, Iraq, grew up in Hastings, East Sussex, England, while attending William Parker School. He began his football career at Gillingham's youth system in 1998, before joining the youth system at Hastings Town in 1999, where he broke into the first team in 2000. [5] At Hastings, he featured for the first team as a teenager, gaining attention from Football League clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, whom he signed for in August 2001, before joining Woking in May 2004. [6] He went on trial at Oldham Athletic in May 2005, [7] and also had a trial at Leeds United in September 2006. [8] Following his trial at Leeds, he joined Sheffield Wednesday on a month's loan in November. [9] [10]

He moved to Peterborough United in League Two for an undisclosed fee on 9 January 2007. [11] He was placed on the club's transfer list at his own request in December, [12] which was followed by a move to Morecambe on loan until the end of the 2007–08 season. [13]

He joined AFC Bournemouth on a month's loan on 1 August 2008 after having a trial at the club. [14] Bournemouth then made this move permanent on 29 August. [15] He signed a new two-year contract with Bournemouth in March 2010. [16] On 12 September 2013, Jalal joined Oxford United on a one-month emergency loan deal, [17] but returned on 2 October 2013 – 1 game short of his initial loan – due to Ryan Allsop's suspension after receiving a red card at Leeds United. [18] On 7 February 2014, Jalal joined Leyton Orient on a one-month loan deal. [19]

On 5 June 2014, Bury announced that they had signed Jalal on a two-year contract after a successful trial at the club. [20] He subsequently played for Northampton and Macclesfield Town.

[21] Jalal made his debut on 16 August 2016, replacing Chris Dunn in the starting line-up in a 1–0 victory over Solihull Moors and keeping a clean sheet. [22] At the end of the 2016–17 season, he left the club. [23] He subsequently re-joined Macclesfield Town on a one-year deal, winning promotion from the National League as champions, before his surprise release at the end of the season.

In May 2018, Jalal joined National League newcomers Chesterfield , signing a two-year contract. [24]
