Abdi was born in Burco, Somalia in 1988. He spent most of his childhood in Oslo, Norway, where he attended both primary and secondary school.

Abdi is the first Somali to be awarded a professional football contract at Sheffield United after impressing with United's Academy. Following spells with Newport Pagnell and Buckingham Town, he was picked up by United when he subsequently moved to Sheffield with the assistance of the Football Unites, Racism Divides program.

Having signed a two year contract in the summer of 2008, Abdi was loaned out to the Blades' sister club Ferencváros for the following season to gain first team experience.^[1]
