Career

Afroto made his first squad club debut on 12 February 2010, when he came as a substitute for Osama Hosny in the 63rd minutes, when his team was down 0–1 against Ittihad El-Shorta. Afroto scored the equalizer for his club from a marvelous long distance free kick. He moved on to inspire his teammates to achieve a 4–2 win by gaining a penalty scored by his teammate Mohamed Samir and scoring his second goal in the 90th minute in an exciting come back. This his made the thrilled fans of Al-Ahly to chant his name until the end of the match.[3]

On 21 August 2012, it was announced that he had officially signed for Azerbaijani giants Qarabağ.[4] After only four games for Qarabağ joined Misr El Makasa on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[5]
