BIOGRAPHY

Kamaljit Singh was picked up in the draft leading to the Hero ISL 2017-18 by FC Pune City, where he made a total of three appearances through the season, deputizing for Vishal Kaith. However, the 2018-19 season saw him establish himself as the Stallions’ first choice goalkeeper, playing 14 matches. With FC Pune City struggling during that campaign, particularly in defence, Kamaljit was one of their standout players, making 59 saves. His performances earned him call ups for the King’s Cup and Hero Intercontinental Cup 2019 national camps under India head coach Igor Stimac. Hero ISL 2019-20 with Hyderabad FC wasn’t as fruitful for Kamaljit, who made 39 saves and didn’t register any clean sheets. He will be hoping to establish himself as Odisha FC’s first-choice custodian in Hero ISL 2020-21.
