Professional career.
Ali was selected in the second round of the 1989 CFL Draft by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers with the 16th overall pick. The Blue Bombers used Ali primarily as a safety due to weaknesses in their secondary coverage. Ali missed time due to an injury in October 1989. During his rookie season, Ali made 21 tackles and caught two interceptions over 17 games.
In 1990, the Blue Bombers released Ali as part of their final cuts before the regular season and signed him to their practice squad. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats signed Ali in July 1990, but he was never activated to play with the Tiger-Cats. Ali went on to play eight games with the Calgary Stampeders during the 1990 season between stints on the Stampeders' practice roster. He spent time on the practice squads of the Blue Bombers in 1991 and the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1993. Ali received a tryout for the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1994 but didn't make the team.
Later life.
Ali worked as a financial planner of the Investors Group after finishing his career in the CFL. After retiring from professional football, Ali played rugby union for the Ottawa Beavers of the Ontario Rugby Union (1997–1999) and the Ottawa Harlequins of the Rugby Canada Super League (2000).
