Club career
Mintu made his top tier debut with Feni Soccer Club in 2009. His performances on the international stage resulted in a competition between Abahani Limited Dhaka and Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club to earn Mintu's signature. Eventually, both clubs named Mintu in their team for the 2012 league season, leading to Abahani sending a complaint to the Bangladesh Football Federation. They soon withdrew the complaint and Mintu went onto join Sheikh Jamal.[2]
The following year, Mintu signed for Mohammedan SC and in 2013, he scored the winning penalty against Sheikh Russel KC, as Mohammedan won the Bangladesh Super Cup.[3] He became the historic teams captain in 2018.[4]
