Iqbalullah

Mohammed Iqbal Ullah Hossain (born 27th April 1995, Tower Hamlets, London, England, United Kingdom), known as Iqbalullah is a British Bangladeshi footballer who currently plays for Silver Harbour FC in the Southern Arc Islands, as a forward. From 2014 to 2015, he played for Sterren Koningstad in Brunant.

Iqbalullah was born to Bangladeshi parents in London. He began his footballing career in 2012, at local club Sporting Bengal United F.C.. Despite being only 17 years old, Iqbalullah managed to score 17 goals in 14 games at the club. As a result, he was transferred in the 2012-13 winter break to Sporting Khalsa F.C., where he continued his good form, scoring 27 goals in 19 games. He again moved after just half a year, to Tower Hamlets F.C. in the summer of 2013. There he scored 28 goals in 17 games. At this point, Iqbalullah was starting to attract the attention of larger clubs, and was bought by the professional club Braintree Town F.C. in the 2013-14 winter break. There he scored 25 goals in 21 games.

By the summer of 2014, he had been noticed by the manager of Sterren Koningstad in Brunant, who was himself British Bangladeshi, and he was bought by the club. Counting only league games, he scored 27 goals in 24 matches in the 2014-15 Parish League System, helping his team win the 2014-15 Cape Cross League Division One, though the team missed out on promotion after losing to Caroline Park FC in playoffs. In mid-2015, he was bought by Southern Arc Islands club Silver Harbour FC, where he scored 10 goals in 9 games in the second half of the 2015 First Division.

Despite being born in England, Iqbalullah is eligible to represent Bangladesh in international football due to his parents. He played for the Bangladesh national under-17 football team in 2012, scoring four goals in two matches. Since 2013 he has played for the Bangladesh national under-20 football team, scoring eight goals in five matches. In late 2014 he made his debut for the senior Bangladesh national football team, in a friendly against Afghanistan in which he scored one goal.
