Mohammedan Sporting Club Roy is one of the very few footballers in Bangladesh history who spent his entire career with just one club. He joined the black and whites in 1977 and ended his club career there in 1989. During his playing days, MSC won the First Division title in 1978, 1980, 1982, 1986, 1987, and 1988–89.

Club captain Though Roy joined MSC in 1977, he mainly established himself in the team in 1980. In 1981 he was made the club captain for one year. He led the team to the Federation Cup title, and the team reached the SF of the Aga Khan Gold Cup football tournament. But, MSC performed poorly in the League as the arch rivals Abahani clinched the title.

Roy contested the 1991 parliamentary election, the first one to be held after the fall of the dictatorship of HM Ershad, as a losing candidate for the Awami League.
