Birhan had four wins on the professional circuit in 2014: two French cross country races, Cross de l'Acier and Cross Ouest-France, and two American road races, the Cooper River Bridge Run and Hy-Vee Road Races. He received his first senior national call-up that year but failed to finish the 10,000 metres at the 2014 African Championships in Athletics. After a quiet 2015, he was runner-up at the 2016 Ethiopian Cross Country Championships and took tenth and a team bronze medal at the 2016 African Cross Country Championships.
