He played youth football for Camden Elite and Cheshunt.[4][5] On 28 February 2020, Khaleel signed for League Two club Crawley Town on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[6][7] He made his debut for the club on 13 October 2020 as a second-half substitute for Samuel Matthews in a 2–1 EFL Trophy defeat to Arsenal U21, before making his full debut the following month in a 2–0 home victory over Ipswich Town, again in the EFL Trophy.[2] He joined Premier League side West Ham United on a trial spell in April 2021.[3]

In November 2021, he joined Southern League Premier Division South club Kings Langley on loan until January 2022.[8] He made his debut as a 63rd-minute substitute in a 2–1 win over Hayes & Yeading on 27 November 2021.[8][9] He made 2 appearances on loan at the club.[9] On 1 February 2022, Khaleel joined Southern League Premier Division South side Gosport Borough on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[10] He made his debut for the club as a substitute in their 1–0 win away to Hendon later that day.[11]

On 30 December 2022, Khaleel made his first league appearance for Crawley as a substitute in a 3–1 defeat to Stevenage.[12] He was given his first start for the club in the first match the following month by new manager Scott Lindsey in a 3–2 win over Salford City.[13] He scored his first goal for the club on 21 March 2023 with an 82nd-minute equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Doncaster Rovers.[14] After making 14 league appearances during the 2022–23 season, Khaleel signed a new two-year contract in June 2023.[15]

On 3 February 2025, Khaleel transferred to National League club Dagenham & Redbridge for an undisclosed fee, having agreed an 18-month contract with the club.[16][17]
