Club career

edit

Al-Baqa'a

edit

He began his professional career with Al-Baqa'a.[1]

Aburiziq was on his way to move to Al-Hussein during the 2022 Jordanian Pro League season, after he had terminated his contract, but Al-Baqa'a appealed the decision when he tore his ACL during the AFC U-23 Asian Cup so that the player would return to the club.[2]

Aburiziq was the center of a contractual dispute during his season-long injury break, between his parent club Al Baqa'a, Al-Hussein, and Al-Wehdat, which lasted until the following season.[3]

Al-Wehdat

edit

Aburiziq signed a 4-year contract with Al-Wehdat in late April 2023.[4]

On 21 May 2024, Al-Wehdat manager Ra'fat Ali suspended Aburiziq from team practices, as well as suspend his finances, as a result of failing to meet team practices and take the club's principles into account.[5]

Al-Salt (on loan)

edit

On 25 July 2024, Aburiziq signed a season-long loan deal with Al-Salt, as a result of Ra'fat Ali suspending him from Al-Wehdat practices.[6]

He scored a brace on his league debut against Shabab Al-Ordon in a 2–1 victory.[7][8]

Al-Minaa

edit

On 18 August 2025, Aburiziq signed with Iraq Stars League club Al-Minaa.[9]

International career

edit

Aburiziq was a youth international for Jordan, having represented the Jordanian under-23 team at the 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup.[10] He tore his ACL during the tournament, which required him to have a surgery on 6 July 2022. The injury also prevented him from making his potential move to Al-Hussein.[11]

On 10 March 2024, Aburiziq was called up to the Jordan national football team for their World Cup qualifying campaign against Pakistan,[12] which he made his debut on March 26 in a 7–0 victory.
