Tremendous honor for me: Davinder Singh
The 25-year-old has termed the chance to play for Chennaiyin FC as a matter of great pride and honor. The Patiala, Punjab-born footballer will be looking to have a great ISL season and impress upon national coach Igor Stimac in a bid to return to the Indian team.
In an official press release, Davinder Singh said:
CFC co-owner Vita Dani, meanwhile, said Davinder Singh’s addition will bolster the team’s defence.
Davinder first played for Mumbai City in the ISL. He appeared in nine matches for the Islanders, including a Super Cup game. His brilliance in right back helped him win the ‘Emerging Player of the Match’ award on his debut against Kerala Blasters.
His addition will definitely be a huge boost for the ‘Marina Machans’. His attacking instincts from the back could help the team create a lot more goals this season.
Davinder Singh’s performance with the national team
Davinder Singh came up the ranks with solid performances at the university level. He impressed as part of the India U-23 team at the 2018 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Championship qualifiers.
His performance caught the attention of then India coach, Stephen Constantine, who included him in the senior team for the 2018 South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) Championship. The defender has since made three more appearances for the Blue Tigers.
