Maududi burst into the scene as a young midfielder for DPMM back when they were playing in the Malaysian Super League in 2007. After DPMM was expelled from the S.League in 2008, he became a journeyman in the local leagues, turning out for AH United, KKSJ Penjara (The Prisons Department), Majra FC, and Najip FC. He finally re-signed with DPMM in 2014.
Midway through the following season, Maududi impressed Steve Kean enough to be handed a rare starting berth for the suspended Joe Gamble against Harimau Muda on 12 September 2015. He duly scored the opening goal, his first in the S.League. He became a starting regular in the second half of the season, which ended with DPMM as title-winners.
International career
Maududi made his first international appearance for Brunei on 15 May 2008 in the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup qualification held in the Philippines, coming on for Ahmad Hafiz Said in the 53rd minute against Bhutan. His further involvement with the Wasps came in the 2008, 2014 and 2016 editions of the qualifying round of the AFF Suzuki Cup, as well as the 2016 AFC Solidarity Cup.
