While in Kuwait Jamil went to an under-14 camp and met Michel Platini who was then the France national football team's coach. Ever since Platini has been Jamil's favorite player. He then moved to India later and got offered a contract from East Bengal and Mohun Bagan but rejected them as they were sponsored by an alcohol company.
Club career
Jamil started his professional career with Mahindra United of the National Football League in 1997 but did not play during the 1997-98 season and left for Air India FC in 1998. During the 2000-01 season Jamil made his first professional appearances with Air India and reportedly got an offer to join a football club from Brunei but rejected to offer, he still regrets it. He then went back to Mahindra United in 2002 but barely played due to many injuries which eventually lead to early retirement.

In the 2017 I-League season, Jamil took over the job of Aizawl FC who had been relegated the previous season but had reached the Federation Cup final, and due to the Goan clubs withdrawing, they were reinstated on the back of public demand as they had played an attractive attacking brand of football.
