Club career

HAL

Sharma got injured in Dr B.C Roy Trophy quarter Final match and had a six-month outing, but he recovered well and came back recovering from knee injury. He joined Hindustan Aeronautics Limited S.C. midway through the 2010-11 season and made twelve appearance for the club.[3]

He had one of the rarest and saddest experience while playing his trade at his first club. HAL goalkeeper Arun Kumar collided with Ankit in training session just before the match against Pune FC, resulting in fracturing his right shin bone and injury to Ankit's right knee, which kept him out of training for a week's rest.[4]

San Cristobal

After the season Sharma signed for a Spanish side San Cristobal.
