Playing career

Leicester City

Born in Zanzibar, Tanzania Yussuf began his career with Leicester City, for the youth and reserve teams. He failed to make an appearance for the club, and on 21 May 2011, with the impending expiry of his contract, Yussuf was released by Leicester City.[1]

Tamworth (loan)

On 1 January 2011, Yussuf signed for Conference National side Tamworth on a one-month loan deal.[2]

Yussuf made his Tamworth debut on 1 January 2011, coming on as a 45th-minute substitute for Scott Barrow in a Conference National fixture away to Kettering Town, and it turned out to be a winning start to his career with the club as Tamworth went on to win the game 1–0, thanks to an own goal from Paul Furlong.[3]

Burton Albion

Following a successful trial period with Burton Albion during the pre-season of 2011–12, the club signed Yussuf on a one-year deal on 2 August 2011.[4] Yussuf's first goal for Burton came in the 6–3 away victory against Barnet on 29 October 2011. Having found first team opportunities hard to come by, Yussuf had to wait until August 11, 2012 to score his second Albion goal, the opener in a 2–2 draw against Sheffield United in the League Cup, Albion eventually going on to win on penalties.

Lincoln City

On 23 May 2013, Yussuf signed for Conference National side Lincoln on a one-year deal.[5] After making only two appearances for Lincoln, Yussuf found more success out on loan, with spells at Gainsborough Trinity, Harrogate Town and Histon throughout the season, scoring a total of 3 goals in 10 games throughout the season.

Oxford City

On 1 August 2014, Yussuf joined Oxford City, signing a one-year deal with the Conference North club.[6]

Mansfield Town

It was announced on 5 June 2015 that Yussuf had signed for Mansfield Town on a free transfer from Oxford City. [7] On 11 March 2016, Yussuf received a five game ban and a £700 fine from the FA for urinating at the back of the stand while warming-up as an unused substitute during the League Two fixture against Plymouth Argyle. [8]
