Club career
AFC Ajax
Barakzai joined the Ajax Youth Academy in 2007, after having been scouted from partner club FC Omniworld from nearby Almere. Moving up the ranks, Barakzai joined the reserves team Jong Ajax during the 2013/14 season. Sidelined by an injury for a majority of the season, he struggled to find his place back in the team under head coach Alfons Groenendijk, Barakzai made his professional debut in an Eerste Divisie match against FC Volendam on 11 April 2014. The North Holland derby match between the two sides, saw Barakzai come on in the 84'-minute for Sheraldo Becker. The match ended in a 1-0 loss for the reserves team.[1] In March 2014 it was announced that Ajax would not extend his contract leaving him to find a new club during the transfer window, with Heracles Almelo, Go Ahead Eagles and RKC Waalwijk mentioned amongst the possible new clubs.[2]
International career
Barakzai holds both Dutch and Afghan passports and is still eligible to represent either on International level.
