Career

After spending three seasons in the Danish 1st Division with AB, Namli signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Dutch club Heerenveen in January 2015 following a successful trial. [1] There was little interest, and no bids, from any other Danish clubs, [1] something which surprised Thomas Nørgaard, his manager at AB, who praised Namli's talent. [2] He was previously listed in September 2014 as a star for the future by Danish magazine BT. [3]

After two seasons in Heerenveen, it was reported in June 2017 that Namli had signed a contract with another Dutch team, PEC Zwolle. [4]

On 22 May 2019, he signed a four-year contract with Russian Premier League club FC Krasnodar. [5]

On 15 January 2020, the Colorado Rapids acquired Namli on a two-year loan from FC Krasnodar. [6] Namli appeared in 18 matches, including MLS Cup Playoffs, and adding two goals and four assists, [7] and he also completed 66 dribbles, which was the second-highest in MLS that season. [8] Namli was named to the MLS Team of the Week in Week 11 for his two-assist performance to help Colorado defeat Real Salt Lake, [9] and reclaim the Rocky Mountain Cup. [10] Following the 2021 season, Colorado declined their purchase option on Namli. [11]

On 11 January 2022, he joined Sparta Rotterdam back in the Netherlands on loan until 30 June 2022. [12] On 2 July 2022, Namli's agent stated that his contract with Krasnodar had been terminated. [13]

On 11 July 2022, Namli returned to Sparta Rotterdam on a one-year contract. [14]

On 21 July 2023, Namli returned to PEC Zwolle on a one-year deal. [15] After leaving the club at the end of the 2023–24 season, on 9 September 2024 Namli returned to Zwolle once again, on a contract until 30 June 2025. [16]
