His older brother Hawar Mulla Mohammed is also a retired Iraqi national team player and former teammates at club level.
After going on to feature in Iraq's failed qualifying campaign for the Olympic Football Tournament Beijing 2008, Mohammed made his senior debut in a friendly 1-1 against Jordan.
Now, with the FIFA Confederation Cup South Africa 2009 beckoning, the Iraqi fans will expect big things from the Mohammed brothers as they come together for the first time on the global stage.
Halgurd was part of the Iraqi squad at the AFC Youth Championship 2006, he played four games and scored one goal at the 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia.
Kurdistan went on to win the VIVA World Cup for the first time in their history, beating North Cyprus 2-1, with Halgurd scoring the first goal of the match by a calm finish from the penalty spot.
