On 11 June 2008 also, Mohammad signed a two-year deal with Iran Pro League champions Persepolis as a player.
After signing with Persepolis, he became a starter right away under head coach Afshin Ghotbi and during the same season when Afshin Peyrovani and Nelo Vingada took over as the managers of the club, he was still a starter both in the league and the AFC Champions League. He is mostly remembered by his great dribbling ability, his runs down the right side and also his speed which all helped Persepolis tremendously during the 2008/09 season. Although having outstanding speed, Mohammad is not as efficient when crossing, making him waste a lot of opportunities while going forward.

Afshin Ghotbi had shown how much he believed in Mohammad and when Ghotbi became the coach of the national team, he called up Mohammad for his first international cap which was made in a friendly against China on June 1, 2009 when he came on as a substitute at half time for Ehsan Hajsafi.
