Club Career

Born in Dohuk, Iraq, Amin and his family migrated to the Dutch city of Leeuwarden when he was three. Three years later, he joined the youth setup of LAC Frisia 1883, before switching to the academy of Heerenveen six years later. In 2013, he signed a three-year contract extension with the club. In March 2013, reports emerged of English club Arsenal expressing their desire to sign him.

In the pre-season of 2014–15, Amin injured his right knee. In the first match after his recovery, Amin was again injured against FC Groningen. Even though he recovered after the winter break, Amin was again injured, this time in a workout which ruled him out of play for eight weeks. On 12 May 2016, his contract was extended for another season.

Although Amin played 32 times for the reserves, he failed to make a first team debut at Heerenveen.
