Meet Sadik

Sadik joined FirstPoint USA in March 2023, working as a sports consultant within our football division. Bringing a wealth of international football experience, Sadik embarked on a US soccer scholarship in 2011, initially attending Jackson College in Michigan, before transferring to Saginaw Valley State University, where he enjoyed success as one of the most prolific attacking players.

After attracting significant interest, he became a professional footballer, signing his first pro contract at the age of 22 for Greek side Iraklis Psachnon, then enjoying another spell in Greece with Niki Volou FC. This would be the beginning of a globetrotting career where he would go on to play in Portugal, Turkey, Spain, and Cyprus, and then return to the USA to play for USL Championship side Birmingham Legion.

On returning to the UK, he has played high level non-league football for a number of sides in the south-east of England, currently starring for Welling United in the National League South, the sixth tier of English football.

He is a certified personal trainer, he has worked as a Gym Manager and through his creative flair and motivational insights, has developed a large following on his social media channels.
