Club career

Match-fixing accusations

In August 2021, Rahad was one of the 13 footballers from Arambagh KS banned by BFF initially for three years due to match-fixing. The ban was later reduced to one year by FIFA.^[1] Nonetheless, he denied the accusations stating "I am not involved (with match-fixing) in any way. I came to Dhaka to become a big footballer. But I don't understand what happened. Now I can't leave the house because of shame. What will I answer to everyone, including my family?".^[2][3]

International career

In 2019, Rahad represented the Bangladesh U19 team at both the 2019 SAFF U-18 Championship and 2020 AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers.^[4][5]
