In December 2014, Adib signed a contract with Shah Alam based club, UiTM FC.[12] It was a good move as UiTM allowed him to pursue his degree in Sports science, although with a below-market salary offer.[13] He spent two seasons with the club before he was loaned out to Felcra FC at the start of 2017 season.[14] He wanted the loan move as the club offered him a better salary.[15]
