Bengaluru FC announced on Sunday that they have signed 19-year-old attacker Harmanpreet Singh.
He moves on a free transfer after leaving East Bengal SC. He was a youth product of United Punjab Football Club. He will join Bengaluru FC ahead of their clash against Eagles FC in the AFC Cup playoff stage. Harmanpreet began his career with Indian Arrows in 2018 and appeared in 14 matches in the I-League before joining SC East Bengal in advance of their debut Indian Super League season.
Harmanpreet who hails from Punjab said he was relishing a new challenge with the Blues having represented the Red and Gold Brigade seven times last season.
“This is a club that has been successful throughout its existence, and it puts its trust in players irrespective of how young they are. I am looking forward to learning from some of the most experienced players in the country — especially the likes of Sunil (Chhetri) bhai and Gurpreet bhai. I want to give my best for this club and win trophies with it,” Harmanpreet told PTI.
A versatile, hard-working attacker capable of playing in a variety of positions in the attacking final third, Harmanpreet can play on the left or the right. A team member of Punjab Police, his father Satnam Singh, was a player, while his uncle won the Durand Cup with JCT Phagwara.
