Career

Yusuff started his career in the youth system at Stevenage, signing a two-year scholarship in the summer of 2010.[2] In March 2012, he joined South Midlands League Premier Division side Biggleswade United on work experience.[3] During his time with the club he scored eight goals, including a hat-trick and man-of-the-match display in a 4–2 win over Oxhey Jets.[4] In April 2012, he was released by Stevenage after he had completed his scholarship.[2] Following his release he enrolled with the Tresham College of Further and Higher Education in Kettering, where he played for the under-21 development side in the Conference Reserve League.[2] In October 2012, he signed for Southern Football League Premier Division side St Neots Town, where he went on to make fifteen appearances in all competitions scoring twice.[3] In January 2013, he moved to fellow Southern Football League Premier Division side Banbury United for a brief period, only making two appearances.[3] In February 2013, he joined Football League Championship side Ipswich Town on trial, featuring in a 4–3 reserve side win over Colchester United.[2] He started the 2013–14 season with Isthmian League Premier Division side AFC Hornchurch after impressing in pre-season, and he was mainly used in the role of impact substitute, scoring late in games against Margate and Wealdstone.[5] He made a total of fifteen appearances for the Urchins scoring three times.[6] In November 2013, he joined Isthmian League Division One North side Aveley to get more match practice, however he stayed with the club for less than a month.[6] Shortly after he signed for fellow Isthmian League Division One North side Chatham Town. He enjoyed a successful ten-month spell at the club scoring twenty-four goals in thirty-eight appearances, which attracted interest from many Football League clubs.[5] After netting seven goals in the first nine games of the 2014–15 campaign for Chatham, he was signed by Football League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge in September 2014 for an undisclosed fee, signing a one-year contract with the club.[7][8] Despite turning professional, he kept his job working as a waiter in a Wagamama restaurant in Kent.[9] He made his professional debut in the same month in a 3–2 defeat to Cambridge United, replacing Andre Boucaud as a substitute.[10] His first professional goals for the club came in October 2014, where he scored a brace in the 2–1 victory over Accrington Stanley.[11]
