Career

Born in Kha-Potshangbam, Manipur, Singh started playing football as a striker, before being converted into a central defender by his coach, Shiband Sir. In 2010, during an All-Manipur Inter District tournament, Singh impressed Maniratnam, a coach who worked with the Directorate of Youth and Sports Affairs. Through Maniratnam, Singh attended trials for Pune's academy in 2011 and made it into the team. While with the academy, Singh was part of the under-19 side which won back-to-back I-League U19 titles. He was also selected to be part of the Maharashtra side which participated in the 2013 Santosh Trophy. At the end of the 2012–13 season, Singh was awarded the "Best-Disciplined Under-19 Player" award by the club. Prior to the 2013–14 I-League season, Pune head coach Mike Snoei gave Singh a place in the first-team squad. He appeared for the first-team squad for the first time during Pune's opening I-League match of the season against Mohammedan. He started and remained on the bench for the entirety of the match as Pune won 3–1. Singh eventually made his competitive debut for Pune in the I-League on 2 November 2013 against Sporting Goa at Duler Stadium. He came on as a 21st-minute substitute for the injured Calum Angus as Pune lost 2–0. On 26 February 2014, Singh made his competitive international club tournament debut for Pune in the AFC Cup against Nay Pyi Taw. He started and played the full match as Pune drew 2–2 against the side from Myanmar.
