Guled enters his second season with the SFU men’s basketball program after a trip to the playoffs and a first-round loss to the eventual GNAC champions, Alaska Fairbanks in 2021-22.
He grew up with a passion for sports, playing soccer, volleyball, track and basketball in high school. As a teenager he moved from Somalia to Qatar and played basketball professionally for over 16 years, as a youth for Al-Sadd and then a shooting guard for Al-Jaish Club teams. He won a number of Qatar League championships with Al-Jaish and played in international tournaments from Brazil to the Philippines.
After several injuries, Guled wanted to give back to the next generation of players and started coaching youth league basketball in Qatar with Fame Academy. After moving to Canada to be with his family, he got involved with coaching and started his own youth program in the community. Guled is really looking forward to his second year as an assistant coach and working on player development and helping the players to achieve their goals.
