He has made three international appearances for The Blue Tigers so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Chennaiyin FC\u2019s rich history in the Indian Super League, it is a tremendous honour for me to become a part of this club. The passion of the fans and the club\u2019s family-led ethos made it a very easy decision for me to sign.<\/p>\n<p>I am very excited to be working with head coach Bo\u0161ko and my new teammates, some who I have known for years. I have always given my 100% and this season, I am even more determined to bring success back to Chennaiyin FC and my ambition is to make my way back to representing the Indian national team again. I believe this will happen,\u201d the Patiala-born footballer said.<\/p>\n<p>Davinder debuted in the ISL in 2017-18 with Mumbai City FC. He had nine appearances for the Islanders, including one Super Cup outing. On his debut match against Kerala Blasters FC, the talented right-back was also adjudged the Emerging Player of the Match.<\/p>\n<p>Making his return to the league with CFC, Davinder will be eager to make up for lost time with a title at CFC and a spot in the Indian national team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-38223\" style=\"display: block; margin: 8px auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Devendra_singh_-_Chennaiyin_FC.jpg\" alt=\"Devendra singh Chennaiyin FC\" width=\"510\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Devendra_singh_-_Chennaiyin_FC.jpg 510w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Devendra_singh_-_Chennaiyin_FC-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Devendra_singh_-_Chennaiyin_FC-150x98.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/>Chennai:<\/strong> Two-time Indian Super League (ISL) champions Chennaiyin FC (CFC) have completed the signing of Indian defender Davinder Singh on a one-year deal ahead of the upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old Indian international will be eager to get back to the field after missing the last three editions of the ISL with a knee injury suffered ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chennaiyin FC rope in talented young Indian defender Davinder Singh - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/?p=38224\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Chennaiyin FC rope in talented young Indian defender Davinder Singh - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Chennai: Two-time Indian Super League (ISL) champions Chennaiyin FC (CFC) have completed the signing of Indian defender Davinder Singh on a one-year deal ahead of the upcoming season.
