Biography

England Under-16 and Arsenal striker Shabbaz Baidoo trialled for the Canaries in their Under-19 clash with Millwall on 7th February 2004. Shabazz played again for the Under-19s against Birmingham on 13th March 2004. He progressed from QPR's youth team to make his Rangers debut aged 16 at the end of the 2004/5 season due to an injury crisis at Loftus Road. As of the end of the 2006/7 season, he had made 28 appearances for QPR scoring 3 goals

Shabazz joined Gillingham on loan in November 2007 but failed to make a single appearance for the Kent side

Baidoo was placed on the transfer-list by newly wealthy QPR in early January 2008 as Rangers sought to replace their squad with players able to take them into the Premiership. On 13th January 2008, the People suggested that Dagenham & Redbridge would sign Baidoo as their leading striker Paul Benson is injured. This became reality on 17th January 2008 with a contract that lasts until the end of the 2007/8 season. An injury sustained son after joining the Daggers limited his opportunity to impress the East London side and he was informed in May 2008 that his contract would not be renewed.

In July/August 2008, Shabazz trialled with Conference newboys Lewes. He finally signed for them on 5th September 2008. He was released at the beginning of October 2008 for financial reasons following the return of Chamal Fenelon from a loan spell with Ryman Leaguers Tonbridge Angels. Manager Kevin Keehan said: "It was a financial thing. I can't keep Chamal and Shabazz." Baidoo had made 5 appearances for Lewes. He subsequently joined Croydon Athletic before moving to Biggleswade Town.

In his spare time Baidoo is also a Grime MC, his alias being "MC Terminator" and was a member of North London Grime crew "Cold Blooded".
