Bikramjit Singh (born 15 October 1992), is an Indian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for I-League club Real Kashmir.
Born in Gurdaspur, Punjab, Singh started his football career at the Sant Baba Hazara Singh Football Academy.[1] He then went on to represent his state at the under-13 level, where he impressed in a tournament in Kolkata and got selected to the India under-13 side.[1] After spending years with the India youth sides, Singh joined the All India Football Federation development side, AIFF XI for the 2010–11 I-League season. He scored his first professional goal directly from a corner kick on 30 December 2010 against HAL. His 53rd-minute strike was the second in a 2–1 victory for the league's developmental side.[2] [3] He then scored his second goal of his career on 13 January 2012 against Sporting Goa. He gave the then Pailan Arrows a 2–1 lead but the side could not hold on as they lost the match 3–2.[4]
After the 2011–12 season, Singh signed with Churchill Brothers.[1] His first season with the club was a successful one for both the team and him. Singh helped the Goan side win their second I-League title while he played 18 matches and scored a goal.[5] He also scored a long-range goal for Churchill Brothers against Air India on 24 September 2012 in the Federation Cup.[6] Singh also scored an outside the box goal in the league against Prayag United on 28 November 2012. His 79nd-minute goal made it 2–0 to the Goan side who eventually came out 2–1 winners.[7]
During the 2012–13 season, Singh also became a goalscoring threat for Churchill Brothers in the AFC Cup. He scored 57th-minute goal for the club against Indonesian side Semen Padang as the match ended in a 2–2.[8] He scored again in the competition on 2 April 2013 against Singaporean club Warriors in the 44th minute as Churchill Brothers won 3–0.[9]
During the 2013–14 season, Singh only played twice for Churchill Brothers before requesting a move to I-League rivals Mohun Bagan.[1] According to Singh, Mohun Bagan being coached by Karim Bencherifa was a big reason in him joining the Kolkata club.[1] He made his debut for the club on 16 February 2014 against Salgaocar. He came on as a 77th-minute substitute for Chinadorai Sabeeth as Mohun Bagan lost 1–0.[10]
After the season ended, Singh joined Mohun Bagan permanently before the 2014–15 season.[11] He would go on to win his second I-League championship this season while playing 18 matches with Mohun Bagan.[12] In June 2015, a month after winning the championship, Singh signed a one-year extension with Mohun Bagan due to their participation in the AFC Cup.[12]
On 22 May 2016, Singh scored the fifth and final goal for Mohun Bagan as they defeated Aizawl in the 2016 Federation Cup Final. His 82nd-minute strike helped further seal the match for the side as Singh won his second trophy with Mohun Bagan.[13]
Prior to the first season of the Indian Super League, Singh signed with Goa on loan from Mohun Bagan.[14] He made his debut for the side in a round seven match against Mumbai City on 9 November 2014. He started the match and played the full match as Goa drew 0–0.[15] He was retained by the side prior to the 2015 season.[16]
On 12 May 2016 it was announced that Singh had signed with Atlético de Kolkata on loan for the 2016 season.[17] He made his debut for the side in the team's season opener against Chennaiyin on 2 October 2016. He started and played the full match as Atlético de Kolkata drew it 2–2.[18]
Singh was an Indian youth international, having played and captained India at the under-13, under-15, under-17, and under-19 team.[1] While with the youth squads, Singh played against sides such as Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and VfB Stuttgart, while also going on exposure trips to the United States and England.[1]
Singh was selected into the India under-23 side to participate in the 2016 AFC U-23 Championship qualifiers.[19] He made his debut for the side on 27 March 2015 against Uzbekistan U23. He started the match and played the full 90 as India were defeated 2–0.[20]
