22 year old Fulham player Zesh Rehman joined Norwich on a six month loan on 31st January 2006. He had made just five appearances for the Cottagers during the 2005/6 season so far. He can play at centre-back, centre-midfield or right-back. Nigel Worthington said "We've watched Zesh and he's done very well. He's a young - a very, very good player. Plus at six foot two, he's a big lad and with Johansson six-foot two too, their height will be a big help.”

Zesh made his debut for Fulham during the 2003/4 season - during which he had a loan spell at Brighton making 11 appearances for the South Coast side scoring twice. He made 17 appearances for Fulham during 2004/5/

Zesh has been capped by England at Under-18, Under-19 and Under-20 but chose to represent Pakistan as a full international. As one of only two Asian players currently competing in the Premiership, he is a big role model to young Asians in England and overseas. "At the moment football in Pakistan is just taking off. They just need a catalyst to get it going, and hopefully that can be me. Obviously my situation means that I can link England and Pakistan together. Football's a massive game in Pakistan, and they're now putting a lot of time, effort and funding into getting us to a major competition. They've told me that they see me as an ambassador because of where I play my football, so it gives me some extra responsibility. They want to make me captain too, which is a great honour. I'll be just as proud to represent Pakistan as England."

His full debut came on 5th February in the 2-1 defeat to Ipswich at Carrow Road. He made five appearances for Norwich during his loan spell

In July 2006, Zesh was the subject of a bid from Swansea City who had spent £375,000 on his Fulham teammate Dean Leacock. On 30th July 2006, The People suggested that Zesh was the target of both Coventry City and Birmingham City. According to the following Sunday's the People, Zesh and teammate Sylvain Legwinski have been told that they do not fit into Fulham manager Chris Coleman's plans. He joined QPR on 8th June 2006 as a replacement for Danny Shittu who had moved to Watford.

On 22nd March 2007, Zesh was loaned to Brighton and Hove Albion

In early January 2008, Zesh was transfer-listed by newly wealthy QPR who are seeking to revamp their squad in order to push for promotion to the Premiership.

Rehman, along with teammate Daniel Nardiello, joined Blackpool at the end of July 2008 which saw former Norwich target Kaspars Gorkss move to QPR. Rehman signed on a six month loan contract with the prospect of it becoming permanent in January 2009. Nardiello signed a two year deal with the Seasiders
