The 27-year-old defender have been an integral part of Albert Roca's plans this term.
Bengaluru Football Club have extended Rahul Bheke’s contract by three years, tying the defender to the Blues until May 2021, the club announced on Thursday. The 27-year-old has been a vital cog in Bengaluru’s season so far, and the extension reaffirms the club’s commitment towards holding on to its best talent.
The Mumbai-born defender, who was picked up by the Blues in the Indian Super League draft back in July, was delighted to have extended his stay in the Garden City.
“It’s a great feeling to sign for three more years with the most professional club in the country. We’ve had ups and downs in this season, but for me it has been an amazing experience. The way the club fights for all the tournaments is something unique and I’m glad to be part of this journey. The management, the staff and most importantly the fans have always supported me throughout and it wasn’t a tough decision to make," Bheke said.
