In 2020 Dost was a member of Lyallpur FC. He made one appearance for the club in the 2020 PFF National Challenge Cup, taking part in its 0–1 defeat to Baloch Quetta.[2] In 2021 he played for local club Balochistan Zorawars in the National Under-23 Football Championship.

On 20 December 2023, Dost was approached by Afghanistan Champions League club Abu Muslim FC to sign a one-season deal.[3][4] On 28 December, he finalised his move to the club.[5] He returned to WAPDA in May 2024 following the resumption of the 2023–24 PFF National Challenge Cup.[6] He was subsequently awarded as top scorer of the competition.[7][8]

International career

Dost represented Pakistan at the youth level in 2020 AFC U-19 Championship qualification.[9] He went on to make four appearances in the campaign.[10] In August 2022 Dost was called up for a trials with the senior national team.[1] In November the same year, he was included in Pakistan's squad for a friendly against Nepal, Pakistan's first fixture in nearly three-and-a-half years because of the Pakistan Football Federation's suspension by FIFA.[11][12] He made his senior international debut as a second-half substitute in the eventual 0–1 away defeat.
