\"footballMumbai:<\/strong> Mumbai City FC on Thursday announced the signing of Amrinder Singh for ISL 2016. A young and talented player, Singh won the hearts of many during the last season of the Indian Super League with Atletico de Kolkata.<\/p>\n

Amrinder Singh studied at the Sports Wing Academy, an institution run by the Punjab government. Starting off as a striker, Singh turned to goalkeeping when his coach steered him in that direction. With his impressive built and natural instincts, the move proved to be a massive turning point in his career.<\/p>\n

Excelling in both the under-17 and under-19 teams, he won the Dr. BC Roy Trophy for Punjab. He joined the Pune FC under -19 team in 2011, and later went on to join their first team. He kicked off his international career at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games with the India under-23 team.<\/p>\n

Amrinder captained the Indian team at the AFC under-23 championship qualifiers in Bangladesh in 2016. He played an important role with Atletico de Kolkata in the last season of the ISL and contributed to Bengaluru FC’s 2015-16 title winning season, thus becoming a permanent fixture in the senior national team squad.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the selection, Indranil Das Blah, CEO, Mumbai City FC said, “Amrinder is one of the finest goalkeepers in the country. He brings a wealth of experience at a young age and a hunger that that is extremely good for a team. All of us are really excited to welcome him to the Mumbai City FC family.”<\/p>\n

On being signed by Mumbai City FC, Amrinder Singh said “Mumbai City FC is a great club with some really great players and staff. The fans showed how great they are when we played Puerto Rico here and I can’t wait to play for them.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
