Indian Super League champions Mumbai City FC have signed the services of goalkeeper TP Rehenesh. The custodian has signed a three-year contract that will run until the end of the 2027 season.

Rehenesh has made 204 appearances across domestic competitions in India and kept 59 clean sheets in his career so far. 

The shot-stopper played for Jamshedpur FC in the last season of the ISL and kept six clean sheets in 20 appearances. He made a total of 61 saves for the Red Miners in the previous edition of the ISL.

TP Rehenesh said: “Joining Mumbai City FC is a matter of pride for me. Mumbai City FC is one of the most consistent teams in India, and I am excited to begin my new journey with the club. The team has been exceptional in recent years, winning trophies and performing at the highest level. I am thrilled to be working with such a talented squad. I am eager to contribute to the team and hope to help them win more silverware in the upcoming seasons.”

Head coach Petr Kratky said: “TP Rehenesh is one of the most experienced goalkeepers in the country, and we are happy that he decided to join us. His character and personality both on and off the field will be a great addition to the squad, along with his ability to make match-winning saves and protect the goal will always be a great asset to the team. I look forward to having him with the club and working with him.”

On the other hand, Chennaiyin FC have signed young forward Gurkirat Singh as their eighth signing for the upcoming 2024–25 season. Singh has signed a two-year contract with the Marina Machans, that will keep him at the club till the 2026 season.

“We wanted to add power and pace to our forward line, and Gurkirat was someone we were keeping an eye on. He was a handful when he played against us in the Super Cup, and his goalscoring record for the India U20s speaks for itself,” head coach Coyle said.

“To be honest, I love Owen Coyle as a coach. He’s a brilliant coach, and I want to play under him,” Gurkirat Singh expressed excitement about joining Chennaiyin FC.
