Playing career
editBabil joined Medeama SC from a lower division side called Charity FC in December 2019 ahead of the 2019–20 Ghana Premier League season. He signed a three-year contract.[2] He featured prominently for the club in their Ghana Premier League campaign which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] He scored 4 goals for Medeama before the league was called off.[citation needed] He made his debut on December 29, 2019, coming on in the 69th minute for Ebenezer Ackahbi.[4] Babil registered his first goal in the Ghanaian top-flight division when he netted a 90th-minute goal for Medeama in their 3–1 win over Cape Coast Ebusua Dwarfs on December 29, 2019.[5] He enhanced his scoring credentials when he climbed off the bench to score the third goal for his side against Accra Hearts of Oak in a 3–0 win in early January 2020.[6] His other goals in the Ghana Premier League came against Liberty Professionals on January 11, 2020[7] and International Allies on February 19, 2020.[8] In January 2020, Babil was named in the Ghana Premier League Team of the Week by Ghanaian football web portal 442 Ghana.[9] On March 16, 2020, the Ghana Football Association's disciplinary committee deducted points from Medeama for fielding Nana Babil in a league game against Accra Great Olympics because he was deemed unqualified to have featured in the game.[10]
In July 2020, Babil joined Austrian side SCR Altach on a season-long loan.[11]
In August 2021, Babil signed a two-year contract with Slovenian PrvaLiga side Aluminij.[12]
