Career
International career
Singh was named as a stand-by player for the 2011 Champions Trophy in Ordos City, China, and was selected in the main squad following the dropping out of two players. However, he missed out as his passport was not ready at the time. Eventually, he made his debut in 2011, at the Champions Challenge I in South Africa.[2] He was a part of the team that competed at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, finishing second, and a ninth-place finish at the 2014 World Cup. In the same year, he won the gold medal with the team at the Asian Games in Incheon.[3]
Club career
At the auction of the inaugural season of Hockey India League, Singh was bought by the Mumbai franchise for US$ 22,000. The team named Mumbai Magicians finished fifth in both the first and the second seasons before announcing their withdrawal from the league in September 2014.[4] Singh finished with one goal in the two seasons. Following the Magicians' withdrawal, Singh was signed by the then new team Dabang Mumbai, for the 2015 season.[5]
