On 4 July 2012, Abdulla signed for Barnet.[10] He scored his first goal for Barnet against Salisbury City on 28 September 2013.[11] His second goal was the winner in a 1–0 win at Hereford United on 19 October.[12] Abdulla was released at the end of the 2013–14 season, though he was invited back for 2014–15 pre-season training.[13] Abdulla played in pre-season friendlies for Barnet in 2014–15 but instead joined Whitehawk,[14] followed by a year at Staines Town.
