Hailing from Husby, Stockholm, he moved around between the lower-league clubs Husby FF (Division 6), Spårvägens FF and Hanvikens SK until 2019, when he scored 9 goals for FC Stockholm. After spending 2020 in both Huddinge IF and Sollentuna FK, he managed to get a small breakthrough and score 9 goals again for Sollentuna in 2021. This earned him a transfer to fellow Division 1 club Sandvikens IF. Ali has stated that the 2019 season gave him the movitation to train harder, and that he is inspired by local footballer Robin Quaison.
In the 2022 Ettan, Ali made his definitive breakthrough as he scored 22 goals in 29 matches. He was noted by media outlets including Aftonbladet as a tank center. Several Sandviken players were bought by larger clubs, including Ali who moved to Västerås SK as the replacement of Viktor Granath.
He made his Superettan debut on 15 April 2023 against Helsingborg. Ali managed to score double digits in the 2023 Superettan as well, securing promotion to 2024 Allsvenskan. In the match that sealed the promotion, at home against GAIS on 29 October 2023, Ali scored both Västerås' goals to clench victory.
He was also noted for having personal supporters from Husby attend certain matches, upwards of 150–200 people. Eventually, the slogan "No Jabir no Party" was printed on clothing and banners. Ali made his Allsvenskan debut on 1 April 2024 against AIK.
