Khan was an important player in KRL's Challenge Cup-winning squad of the 2010-11 season, scoring the second goal of the 4–0 win against Pakistan Navy in the cup final.

Khan also made his debut AFC President's Cup on 10 May 2010 in a 2–1 win against Naga Corp from Cambodia, scoring both the goals in the continental club competition.

During 2012-13 season, he became involved in the first-team under then manager Tariq Lutfi who replaced manager Sajjad Mahmood the previous season; Khan established himself as a key player – playing almost in every match and scored 35 times to make him the league's all-time record top goal scorer.
