Mohammad Nosrati (Persian: محمد نصرتى‎ , born January 10, 1982 in Karaj, Iran) is an Iranian football player who currently plays for Pas Tehran in Iran's Premier League football and the Iran national football team.

[edit] Club career

He is one of many valuable players of his club Pas Tehran, finishing the 2003/04 season as IPL champions. There had been some notable interest shown in him from outside Iran -- most notably he was officially linked to 2003 Croatian champions, Dinamo Zagreb, but rejected the offer citing that he wanted to play in a better European league. He dispelled speculation of which European team he would sign with when he signed a three-year extension with Pas in 2005.

On February 9, 2007 it was said Nosrati signed with Belgian League outfit R.E. Mouscron on a 5-month contract after passing medical tests, however the deal was not completed as terms and conditions could not be agreed on.

[edit] International career

The 24-year old defender made his debut for Iran in 2002 in a game against Jordan and since that moment has had a somewhat stable role in the squad. Already labeled a talented youngster before that debut, he has consistently made a balanced and overall good impression. After being one of the Asian Games 2002 gold medal winners, he was marked as a fixed defender in the national team despite being only 20 years old at the time.

Nosrati is also a very clever header of the ball and has scored several goals using this attribute. His most famous header came in a World Cup 2006 qualification game in Iran's 1-0 victory against Bahrain, making Nosrati the player who sealed Iran's qualification. He was among Iran's final squad for World Cup 2006.
