Enamul Haque (Bengali: এনামুল হক; born 1 November 1985) is a retired Bangladeshi professional footballer who played as a striker. He holds the record as the only Bangladeshi Golden Boot winner in the Bangladesh Premier League. He represented the Bangladesh national team from 2009 to 2016, scoring 7 goals in 16 games.[1]
Enamul began his career in the Dhaka First Division League with Fakirerpool Young Men's Club. He helped the club gain promotion as champions in the 2003–04 season, finishing the league as the club's top scorer with 5 goals.
In 2005, Enamul joined Muktijoddha Sangsad KC in the Dhaka Premier Division League. In his debut season at the club he scored a stoppage time goal as Muktijoddha defeated Turkmen club Nebitçi Balkanabat 1–0 in the 2005 AFC Cup.[2]
He made his career breakthrough with Farashganj SC during the 2008–09 B.League season by scoring 13 goals in 20 games. He also made headlines by scoring five goals against Khulna Abahani in a 7–0 win.[3] His best season came during the 2009–10 season with Abahani Limited Dhaka. He won the domestic double, and with his 21 goals in the 2009–10 Bangladesh League, he also became the first local player in Bangladesh Premier League history to finish the season as the highest goalscorer.[4] He was also the Man of the Match in the 2010 Federation Cup final.[1]
In 2010, Enamul moved to the high-spending Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club. However, after spending most of the season on the bench, he lost his spot in the national team.[5] In November 2011, Enamul returned to Abahani.[6] In January 2012, he ruptured his knee during a practice session and was kept out of action for almost a whole year.[7] He made a return to form during the 2014–15 Bangladesh Premier League season with 13 goals in about 20 matches for Muktijoddha.[8] [9] Nonetheless, after suffering from continuous injuries the following few years, he retired while playing for Brothers Union in 2019.
On 26 April 2009, Brazilian coach Dido handed Enamul his senior international debut against Cambodia in the 2010 AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers. Enamul went on to score the lone goal in the match, handing Bangladesh their first victory in almost three years.[10]
Enamul scored 4 goals in the 2009 SAFF Championship and was the joint-top scorer in the tournament.[1] In 2015, Dutch coach Lodewijk de Kruif recalled Enamul to the national team for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, after the striker was out of international football for half a decade due to a knee injury.[11]
In 2014, Enamul, along with 14 other national footballers, joined the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[12]
Enamul became a full-time pharmacist following his retirement in 2019.[13]
