[1] Tipu had his breakthrough season with Wari Club in 1965, and after a year at Rahmatganj MFS, he was snapped up by Makrani dominated Victoria SC.

In 1968, Tipu got his move to Pakistan's strongest team, Mohammedan SC, after impressing the club's official Amir Jang Ghaznavi.

With the Black and Whites, he won his first league title in 1969, establishing a lethal partnership with Pakistani striker Ali Nawaz.

[1][3] In 1972, almost a year after Bangladesh Liberation War, Tipu joined the newly established Abahani Krira Chakra, after being persuaded by Sheikh Kamal.

[8] Later on that year, Tipu played for the Dhaka XI in India's Bordoloi Trophy, and scored in the final against East Bengal Club, as his team finished runner-up.

However, a knee injury he suffered in 1972, prevented him a place in the first Bangladesh national football team, which played in Malaysia's Merdeka Tournament, in 1973.

He managed the Bangladesh U19 at the qualifying round of the 1985 AFC Youth Championship, eventually failing to guide the team to the main tournament.

His last coaching job with the national team came during the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC first round, where Bangladesh lost 4–0 to Tajikistan on aggregate.
