Mojibur Rahman Jony (Bengali: মজিবুর রহমান জনি; born 1 January 2005) is a Bangladeshi professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Bangladesh Premier League club Bashundhara Kings and the Bangladesh national team.

Early life

[edit]

Mojibur Rahman Jony was born on 1 January 2005, in Dinajpur. He began playing football in 2009, with the help of his uncle while his day-labour father, who worked at a rice mill, and elder brother also helped him pursue the sport. His performances during the National Sports Council Cup got him selected for advanced training in Gopalganj, Khulna, and Barishal before getting admitted to Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP) in 2017. He represented Bangladesh in youth football at the 2017 SAFF U-15 Championship and 2018 AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers.[1] Jony came to Dhaka to play for Bikrampur Kings in the Super League round of the 2019–20 Dhaka Third Division League. On 22 August 2021, he scored his first goal for the club coming as a brace against Asaduzzaman FA, in a 2–1 victory. With 5 goals in 9 games, he led Bikrampur to promotion to the Dhaka Second Division League as one of the top five teams in the league. However, he was diagnosed with appendicitis, and underwent surgery in 2019, keeping him out of the game for a year.[2]

On 13 October 2022, Jony joined the newly promoted Fortis FC in the Bangladesh Premier League.[2] On 18 February 2023, he scored his first goal for the club in a 4–3 victory over Mohammedan SC.[3] In July 2023, Bashundhara Kings signed Jony in preparation for the preliminary round of the 2023–24 AFC Champions League.[4]
