Mumbai City FC are delighted to announce the signing of Gursimrat Singh Gill. The 25-year-old joins the Islanders until the end of the 2022-23 season.
Gill, who came through the Chandigarh Football Academy before joining the AIFF Elite Academy, signed his first top-flight contract with Bengaluru FC in 2016. He garnered important minutes in the AFC Cup and was also a part of the Federation Cup winning squad in 2017. The versatile defender switched allegiances to NorthEast United in 2017-18 before returning to Bengaluru the following season.
Gill’s second stint with the Blues lasted for two seasons, winning the ISL title in 2018-19 in the process. A season with I-League side Sudeva Delhi followed in 2020-21 for the Punjab-born defender before Gill joined fellow ISL side ATK Mohun Bagan for the 2021-22 season.
