Career
Singapore
Coming to Gombak United of the Singapore S.League in 2008 on the recommendations of older brother Obadin Aikhena, Obadin was part of the Gombak squad that won the 2008 Singapore League Cup.[6]
Cambodia
Unveiled as one of 2010 Cambodian League winners Phnom Penh Crown's new signings in November 2010,[7] Obadin registered his first goal of the 2011 season in a 5-3 win over Chhlam Samuth, before leaving in late 2012 along with Henry Asonibe, Emmanuel Frimpong, and Kingsley Njoku. After looking for a club in Myanmar, he re-joined Phnom Penh Crown in early 2013, helping them to a third place finish at the 2014 Mekong Club Championship among other honors which strengthened his unimpeachable status as team captain.[8]
In 2012, the Nigerian defender was refused entry into China on the way to Tajikistan to represent Phnom Penh Crown in that year's AFC President's Cup.
Norway
Trialling for Ullensaker/Kisa IL in 2016,[9] Obadin moved to IL Flint in 2017.[10]
