Club career edit
Although Bipu spent much of his early career with Mohammedan SC, he had to move to Feni SC in order to gain game time.[2][3] In 2016, he established himself as Feni's first choice goalkeeper.[4] The following year, after the club was relegated from the top-tier, Bipu moved to Muktijoddha Sangsad KC.
In October 2018, Bipu underwent surgery for his broken hand, which kept him out of the game for almost five months. However, while still injured a rumour had spread throughout local media about his apparent death. Bipu later gave an interview with Prothom Alo clearing the false news.[5]
On 2 January 2021, Bipu displayed a man of the match performance for Mohammedan SC against Saif SC in the quarterfinals of the 2020–21 Federation Cup. After saving two penalty shots in the tiebreaker, he was compared to former Black and White legend Sayeed Hassan Kanan.[1]
