Club career

Rasheed started his youth career in Kortedala IF, played junior football for GAIS and started his senior career in Qviding FIF. After two years with limited play in third-tier IF Sylvia he moved to Norwegian Stabæk Fotball as second-choice goalkeeper. Not featuring once for the first team, in 2014 he was signed by Alta IF, but did not play more than once there either.

In 2015 and 2016 he was finally a first-choice goalkeeper, first for Norwegian second-tier side Follo FK and then for Swedish second-tier side IFK Värnamo. He was brought to BK Häcken and finally made his debut in a fully professional league in 2018.{{NFF|3728003}}{{Soccerway|jonathan-rasheed/165982|access-date=26 October 2023}}[https://fotbolltransfers.com/site/player/4017 Fotbolltransfers.com] He missed all of 2019 due to injury.{{cite news|url=https://www.fotbollskanalen.se/allsvenskan/hackens-tunga-besked---malvakt-missar-resten-av-sasongen/|title=Häckens tunga besked - målvakt missar resten av säsongen|last=Pearson|first=Sebastian|date=17 May 2019|publisher=Fotbollskanalen|language=Swedish|accessdate=19 February 2020}}
