Javad Kazemian (Persian: جواد كاظميان; born 23 April 1981 in Kashan, Iran) is an Iranian former football winger. He is commonly mistaken for a striker as he is frequently involved in running towards the opposing box, but his preferred position is a right winger.

Club career

He started with the youth team of Saipa and was able to make it to the senior team. There he showed some great performances and was called up to the Iranian national team when Miroslav Blažević was Iran's manager. He joined Al-Ahli of UAE in 2002 with $300'000 deal,[2] playing alongside Ali Karimi.[3] but returned to Iran after a few months, briefly playing for Saipa again, and then three seasons with Persepolis FC.

After World Cup 2006, he signed a one-year loan deal with Emirati club Al-Shaab with the option to sign a permanent contract with the club after a year,[4] but then signed a season-long contract with Al-Shabab club in the end of the league in 2007–2008 season.

In 2008, he went on loan to Ajman football club, following a series of poor performances with Al-Shabab. He had another average season with 17 matches and scoring just 6 goals for the club. He parted ways with Ajman in 2010, following two poor seasons with the club.In 2010, he signed with Dubai club Emirates, avoiding a return to Iran.

He finally returned to Iran in 2010 and signed for Sepahan and won the league.

On 23 July 2011, despite rumors circulating that he has joined Foolad, he signed a contract with Persepolis and joined his beloved club.[5] He extended his contract with Persepolis for one year, keeping him with the team through 2013, but his contract was terminated on 18 December 2012.[6] At the end of the year, he joined Tractor where he made a good partnership with Mehdi Seyed Salehi and finished second in the league.
