In the I-League match against Shillong Lajong F.C. on 25 March, he was brought in as a substitute for Pierre Djidjia Douhou on the 46th minute, and he equalised from a Jeje Lalpekhlua pass on the 51st minute, and then equalised again on the 59th minute from an Othallo Tabia cross to ensure a 2-2 draw.
