Club career

edit

Liton joined his hometown club Narayanganj Suktara Sangsad after the club secured a place in the 2009–10 Bangladesh League. He initially coached the club to promotion during their Bashundhara Champions Club Cup triumph in 2009, in the absence of head coach, Riaz Biswas.[1]

Our main motivation is that all the players of the squad are from Narayanganj and they know each other closely.

— Liton on the Narayanganj Suktara Sangsad's participation in the professional league in 2009.[1]

He was appointed captain of the team and finished the season as the club's top scorer with six goals, as the Narayanganj-based outfit were relegated in their inaugural season in the country's top-flight.[2][3][4][5]

International career

edit

Liton captained the Bangladesh U16 team during the 1996 AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers in Nagoya, Japan. Under Iraqi coach Samir Shaker, Liton was a member of the Bangladesh national team which won gold at the 1999 South Asian Games.[6] He also participated in the 2002 Asian Games held in South Korea.
