Career edit
In 2012 has been a golden year for Dedebit midfielder. He has proved his quality by dominating the midfield in most of the matches in EPL. The former striker is a brilliant player, a physical beast with good technical quality, he is a tough tackler but at the same time he can stride forward and play the ball. Addis is relatively a complete central midfielder, can tackle, defend, and is good in the air. That's why he was awarded Player of the season award in 2011/12 by Passion Sport magazine award.[2]/[3] As of 2021, Addis plays for Hadiya Hossana FC.[4]
