Nadjim "Jimmy" Abdou (born 13 July 1984) is a footballer who plays for Millwall as a midfielder and right back. He previously played for Martigues, Sedan and Plymouth Argyle. He has represented Comoros at international level.
Born in Martigues, Bouches-du-Rhône, Abdou started out with his home-town club Martigues in 2002, before joining Sedan in 2003, where, after three seasons in Ligue 2, he played one season in Ligue 1 in 2006–07. Sedan finished in 19th place and were relegated.
After a trial in the summer of 2007, "Jimmy" Abdou joined English Football League Championship club Plymouth Argyle signing on a free transfer on 20 August until the end of the 2007–08 season. He made his first league appearance on 25 August as a 62nd-minute substitute in a 3–2 defeat at Barnsley. He scored his first goal in English football against Scunthorpe United in a 3–0 win at Home Park on 1 December 2007. After contract discussions in April 2008, Abdou left Plymouth in June 2008 after turning down the club's contract offer and signed for Millwall on 3 July 2008.
Abdou's signature has turned out to be something of a coup for manager Kenny Jackett. In spite of one or two short term injuries, Abdou has been successful at Millwall, holding down a regular first team slot in central midfield when fit.
