Bio

Jibon Singh is a sound left back who specializes in long ball passing, crossing and has a high endurance level. He has worked hard to become a professional footballer as there were no facilities where he could play during his childhood days. At the age of 16 he joined a Manipur club and a year later enrolled at the Tata Football Academy in Jamshedpur where he remained for four years. His first professional break was with East Bengal (2008-10) followed by Pailan Arrows (2010-12) and finally Shillong Lajong. Jibon has played for the national team in the under-17, under-19 and under-23 categories and was called to the senior camp in 2010.
