Indian Super League (ISL) side Mumbai City FC on Saturday announced that Bipin Singh will be leaving the club after seven seasons.

The winger will depart the Islanders upon the expiry of his contract on 31 May 2025, having made 158 appearances across all competitions. During his time with the club, he played a crucial role in helping them win two ISL League Shields and two ISL Cup titles.

“It’s hard to say goodbye, but I leave with nothing but gratitude in my heart. Mumbai City has been my home for seven unforgettable years; this club has given me everything,” Singh told Mumbai City FC.

“To the fans, teammates, staff, and everyone who’s been part of this journey, thank you for the love and belief. Mumbai City will always be a part of me,” he added.

Since joining Mumbai City FC from ATK in 2018, the Manipur-born winger has been an integral part of the Islanders' rise. Over his seven-season spell at the club, he scored 25 goals and registered 11 assists in the ISL, tallying 28 goals across all competitions.

His standout season came in 2020-21, when Mumbai City FC created history by becoming the first team to win both the ISL Shield and the ISL Cup in the same campaign. He played a key role, contributing six goals and four assists, including a memorable winning strike in the final against Mohun Bagan Super Giant.

Remarkably, he repeated the feat in 2024, once again scoring in the ISL final against the same opponent, helping the Islanders lift their second ISL Cup.

Singh departs as one of Mumbai City FC’s all-time greats. His 36 goal contributions are the second-highest for the club in the ISL, only behind Lallianzuala Chhangte (40). His 25 ISL goals also place him second on the club’s all-time scoring list, just behind Chhangte (26). He made the most appearances for Mumbai City FC in the ISL (129); in fact, he is the only player to have played 100+ ISL games for the Islanders.

In honour of his legacy, Mumbai City FC will retire his iconic number 29 jersey.

Kandarp Chandra – CEO, Mumbai City FC, commented: “Bipin’s journey with Mumbai City has been truly special. Over the years, he’s made a meaningful impact on and off the pitch, delivering key moments and showing unwavering commitment to the club. His connection with our fans and his contributions to our success speak for themselves.
