Career

He was released by Bielefeld in August 2010 and he rejoined the Veikkausliiga strugglers FC Lahti on 24 August 2010. He celebrated his comeback by scoring in his first appearance in a 1–1 draw against JJK.
On 31 January 2011, Sadik signed a two-year contract with HJK. He finished the season with 15 goals, being the club's second-best goalscorer, one goal behind Akseli Pelvas.
On 22 January 2019, Sadik signed an 18-month deal with Segunda División side Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[6] On 5 August, after suffering relegation, he terminated his contract.[7]
