Club career
He spent most of his career at Pas Tehran. In 2004, he joined another IPL club, Sepahan, but returned to Pas after two seasons. In July 2007 Aghaei signed a one-year contract with Iranian giants Persepolis F.C., despite numerous offers from the UAE League from clubs such Al-Ahli.
He scored his first goal for Persepolis in August 2007 – a 37-yard free kick during a 2-0 win against Pegah F.C.. He also scored the equalizer in the 7th week match against Pas Hamedan with a 25-yard volley.
He scored yet another 40-yard free kick against Sepahan, but it was not enough to prevent Persepolis suffering their first defeat of the season, losing 2-1. In all, he scored 7 goals for Persepolis. He signed a contract with Damash on June 2011.[3]
