After two full seasons with Oppsal in the 3. divisjon, Rajendram moved to league rivals Nordstrand in 2023.[3] However, the move did not last long, and by the end of the season he had returned to Oppsal.[4] After two seasons with Oppsal, Rajendram moved to PostNord-ligaen side Strindheim in September 2024, shortly after making his international debut.[5]
