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.

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