One of the most memorable moments of Sharifat's time at Esteghlal was scoring against Persepolis in the 73rd Derby, a match in which he opened the rival's goal wearing the blue shirt. During his years in Iranian football, this player faced Persepolis many times and scored important goals, so much so that at one point in his playing career, he earned the nickname "Persepolis's Black Cat".

During his time at Esteghlal, Sharifat made 68 appearances and registered seven goals and four assists. Now, the 38-year-old player will experience a new chapter in Iranian football by joining Damash Gilan.
