Usman Iqbal Gondal (Urdu: عثمان اقبال گوندل; born 12 February 1987)[1] is a former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. Born in England, he played for the Pakistan national team.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Gondal was born in Derby, England, and played youth football for both Nottingham Forest and Leicester City.[3][4] In 2003, Usman Gondal became Leicester City's first Asian scholar and played for the under-17s. Gondal was called up by the senior team after he scored in a trial match for their under-19 side against Watford in 2005.

Gondal signed for non-league side Arnold Town in September 2006.[5] Gondal retired from professional football in 2007, because of persisting injuries that hampered his football career and focused on his job career.[6]

International career

[edit]

Gondal made his debut international appearance for Pakistan as substitute in the first match of the friendly series against India in Quetta on 12 June 2005.[7][8][4][9][10] He then had to leave the camp before the second match of the series after falling ill.[11][12]

In 2006, he was included with the squad for the tour to Bahrain and the 2007 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers against Jordan.[13]
