Early career
In 2017, Srabon won an interschool football tournament with Bakhrabad Gas Adarsha Bidhalaya. In the tournament final, he saved two penalties in the tiebreaker. His school football coach advised him to join the trials for Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP), which is the country's national sports institution. Although he failed the medical examinations due to a tooth worm, he managed to make the cut during the Bangladesh Football Federation nationwide talent hunt program.

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. 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)

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.

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. On 25 October 2023, Srabon made his competitive debut for the club against Mohun Bagan SG during the 2023–24 AFC Cup. 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.

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.

In March 2023, Srabon was called up to the Bangladesh national team camp at Medina, Saudi Arabia. On 6 September 2023, Srabon made his Bangladesh U23 debut during a 0–2 defeat to Malaysia U23 in the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers.

On 21 November 2023, Srabon made his senior international debut, coming on as a substitute for the injured Mitul Marma duirng a 1–1 draw in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round against Lebanon.
