International career
Rehan played in the Sylhet District League before going on to play in Dhaka. He captained Bangladesh U19 at the 1988 AFC Youth Championship qualifiers. He was part of the Bangladesh national football team during the 1987 South Asian Games, 1989 South Asian Games, 1988 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and also during the 1990 Asian Games.
When Bangladesh took on India in the second group-stage match of the 1989 South Asian Games, they managed to take the lead through Nurul Haque Manik, however after a challenge from Rehan in the penalty box, Bangladesh conceded a late penalty which led to captain Elias Hossain pushing the referee in anger, earning him a ban from international football.
During the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifiers return game against Japan, Rehan was sent off as Bangladesh suffered a 4-1 defeat. Rehan's national career soon ended the same year.
