Shakir was signed by Iraqi Premier League club Al-Talaba in 2005, at the age of 18. Following a subsequent two-year spell with his second club Arbil SC, he earned a move abroad to Qatari club Al-Khor.
Shakir represented the former Iraqi Olympic side that won silver at the 2006 Asian Games at Doha, and he was called into the national B team for the 2007 King's Cup in Thailand. His debut with the senior team came in January 2008, when he played a defensive role in Iraq's 1-1 friendly draw with Jordan.
Shakie made two appearances in Iraq's qualifying campaign for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He played the entirety of the 1–1 draw against China before starting again in the 1–0 loss to Qatar.
