ISLW

Bio

In August, two-time Hero Indian Super League (Hero ISL) champions Chennaiyin FC completed the signing of Indian defender Davinder Singh on a one-year deal ahead of the 2021-22 season. He returned to the league after missing previous three seasons through a knee injury. Davinder’s rise was meteoric, from university football to the national squad. His performances for the India’s U-23 team at the 2018 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Championship qualifiers impressed former national team coach Stephen Constantine greatly. And so, the former Punjab University defender earned his senior team debut at 2018 South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) Championship. Davinder debuted in the Hero ISL in 2017-18 with Mumbai City FC. He had nine appearances for the Islanders, including one Hero Super Cup outing. In his debut match against Kerala Blasters FC, the talented right-back was adjudged the Emerging Player of the Match.
