Club career
Liton joined his hometown club Narayanganj Suktara Sangsad after the club secured a place in the 2009–10 Bangladesh League. He initially coached the club to promotion during their Bashundhara Champions Club Cup triumph in 2009, in the absence of head coach, Riaz Biswas.[1]
Our main motivation is that all the players of the squad are from Narayanganj and they know each other closely.

He was appointed captain of the team and finished the season as the club's top scorer with six goals, as the Narayanganj-based outfit were relegated in their inaugural season in the country's top-flight.[2][3][4][5]
International career
Liton captained the Bangladesh U16 team during the 1996 AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers in Nagoya, Japan. Under Iraqi coach Samir Shaker, Liton was a member of the Bangladesh national team which won gold at the 1999 South Asian Games.[6] He also participated in the 2002 Asian Games held in South Korea.
