Club career

Enamul started his career with Muktijoddha SKC in 2004. He made his breakthrough with Farashganj SC during the 2008–09 B.League season, scoring 13 goals in 20 games. He also made headlines by scoring five goals against Khulna Abahani, in a 7–0 win.[2] His best season came during the 2009–10 season, with Abahani Limited Dhaka, winning the domestic double and with his 21 goals in the 2009–10 Bangladesh League, he also became the first local player in Bangladesh Premier League history to finish the season as the highest goalscorer. He was also the man of the match in the 2010 Federation Cup final. However, a knee injury in 2012 halted his career.[1][3] He made a return to form during the 2014–15 Bangladesh Premier League season with 13 goals in about 20 matches for Muktijoddha SKC.[4] Nonetheless, after suffering from continuous injuries the following few years, he retired while playing for Brothers Union in 2019.

International career

On 26 April 2009, Enamul made his senior international debut against Cambodia at the 2010 AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers. He scored 4 goals at the 2009 SAFF Championship, and was the joint-top scorer in the tournament.[1] In 2015, Bangladesh coach Lodewijk de Kruif recalled Enamul to the national team for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, after the striker was out international football for half a decade due to a knee injury.[5]
