Club career

Born in *zakh, Rashidov began his career with hometown club Sogdiana *ak before joining FC Bunyodkor in 2009. In his time at the latter club, he won the Uzbek League and Uzbek Cup three times each, as well as winning an Uzbekistan Super Cup and a semi-final finish in the 2012 AFC Champions League.

On 6 July 2015, he moved abroad for the first time to sign a three-year deal with El Jaish SC of the Qatar Stars League. Two years later, following the merger of his club into Al-Duhail SC, he moved on a free transfer to UAE Pro-League side Al Jazira Club, replacing Park Jong-woo as their permitted Asian foreign player.

In his time in Abu Dhabi, Rashidov was not frequently picked by manager Henk ten Cate, and on 4 February 2018 he returned home to Lokomotiv Tashkent. He made his debut eight days later in a home Champions League group match against Al Wahda FC, coming on as a first-half subs*ute for Nivaldo and scoring in a 5–0 win.

Rashidov left Asia for the first time on 16 January 2019, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal with C.D. Nacional of Portugal's Primeira Liga. He played seven games for the team from Madeira and scored three times, all of which in a 4–0 home win over C.D. Feirense on 16 February. In the following game, against fellow Atlantic islanders C.D. Santa Clara, he did not make the trip after suffering two panic attacks ahead of the flight.

In July 2019, Rashidov rescinded his Nacional contract following their relegation, and signed for Qatar SC.

On 17 July 2021, Kuwait SC has signed Rashidov for one season from Pakhtakor.

International career

Rashidov made his debut for the Uzbekistan national football team on 15 October 2013 in a 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification match at home to Vietnam, and scored the opening goal of a 3–1 win in Tashkent. Coach Mirjalol Qosimov called him up for the final tournament in Australia, where he scored twice in a 3–1 win over Saudi Arabia to advance to the quarter-finals. He was also included for the 2019 edition in the United Arab Emirates.
