Club career

=Bashundhara Kings=

In March 2021, Srabon began training with the reserves and youth team of the Bangladesh Premier League club Bashundhara Kings. He was given a long-term contract after impressing the club's goalkeeper coach, Nuruzzaman Nayan.{{Cite web|url=https://www.banglanews24.com/football/news/bd/1211158.details|language=bn|title=মেহেদি-শ্রাবণে আস্থা নয়নের|date=October 24, 2023|website=banglanews24.com|archive-date=14 January 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114185251/https://www.banglanews24.com/football/news/bd/1211158.details|url-status=live}} However, due to the presence of the country's first-choice keeper, Anisur Rahman Zico, along with other experienced campaigners, he was not able to appear for the senior team.

==Gopalganj Sporting Club (loan)==

In March 2022, Srabon was loaned to Gopalganj Sporting Club for the second phase of the 2022–23 Bangladesh Championship League. He made his debut as a substitute against Agrani Bank SC on 6 June 2022. His only appearances for the club came during the last two league games of that season.

==Muktijoddha Sangsad KC (loan)==

In November 2022, after a few months of training with Bashundhara Kings U18, Srabon joined Bangladesh Premier League club Muktijoddha Sangsad KC on a loan deal. On 15 November 2022, Srabon made his competitive debut for the club during a 5–1 victory over Bangladesh Air Force in the 2022–23 Independence Cup.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bhorerkagoj.com/print-edition/2023/03/03/%e0%a6%a4%e0%a7%8d%e0%a6%b0%e0%a6%bf%e0%a6%a6%e0%a7%87%e0%a6%b6%e0%a7%80%e0%a7%9f-%e0%a6%9f%e0%a7%81%e0%a6%b0%e0%a7%8d%e0%a6%a8%e0%a6%be%e0%a6%ae%e0%a7%87%e0%a6%a8%e0%a7%8d%e0%a6%9f%e0%a7%87-%e0%a6%ac/|date=3 March 2023|language=bn|title=ত্রিদেশীয় টুর্নামেন্টে বাংলাদেশ দলে তিন নতুন মুখ|website=Bhorerkagoj|archive-date=14 January 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114185503/https://www.bhorerkagoj.com/print-edition/2023/03/03/%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%80%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AC/|url-status=live}}

==Return to Bashundhara Kings==

In July 2023, returned to Bashundhara Kings for the preliminary round of the 2023–24 AFC Champions League following the relegation of Muktijoddha Sangsad.{{Cite web |title=Kings strengthen squad ahead of AFC CL|url=https://www.newagebd.net/article/208433/kings-strengthen-squad-ahead-of-afc-cl|access-date=2023-08-05|website=New Age|language=en|archive-date=14 January 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114185920/https://www.newagebd.net/article/208433/kings-strengthen-squad-ahead-of-afc-cl|url-status=live}} On 25 October 2023, Srabon made his competitive debut for the club against Mohun Bagan SG during the 2023–24 AFC Cup.{{Cite web|url=https://www.kalerkantho.com/print-edition/sports/2023/10/26/1330274|date=26 October 2023|title=এবার জেতার প্রত্যয় কিংসের|language=bn|website=Kalerkantho|archive-date=14 January 2024|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/8UCev|url-status=live}} During the tournament, Srabon's misplaced pass against Maziya S&RC saw the Maldivian club take the lead in a game where Bahsunndhara eventually clinched the victory.{{Cite web|url=https://www.kalerkantho.com/print-edition/sports/2023/11/30/1341034|language=bn|title=ভুল করে শেখার ম্যাচ নয় এগুলো|date=30 November 2023|website=Kalerkantho|archive-date=14 January 2024|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/bNQCX|url-status=live}}

He continued to receive criticism from both fans and the media after conceding another goal due to an individual error during a 2–1 victory over Bangladesh Army in the 2023–24 Independence Cup. He eventually repaid the coach's faith in him, receiving the man of the match award during a 4–0 victory over Abahani Limited Dhaka in the semi-final.{{Cite web|url=https://www.dailynayadiganta.com/sports/799256/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0|language=bn|title=আস্থার প্রতিদান দেয়া শুরু শ্রাবণের|date=17 December 2023|website=Daily Nayadiganta|archive-date=14 January 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114190107/https://www.dailynayadiganta.com/sports/799256/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A5%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0|url-status=live}}
