Profile

Renedy Singh was born on 20th June, 1977 at Imphal in India. He is an Indian Professional Football Player. Playing in the midfield position since 1998, P. Renedy Singh has represented his National Team India on numerous occasions.

By 2000, Renedy established himself as one of the best free kick takers in the country and was signed by Mohun Bagan. Arguably the best stage of his career was with the Mariners as he played an influential role during their 2001-02 National League triumph. Renedy’s ability to cross the ball with both feet made him a mainstay in the Indian national team, especially after his excellent displays in India’s 2002 LG Cup success.

Renedy joined East Bengal for the second time in his career in 2008 but was never a regular there because of injuries and lack of match fitness. He did however star in a couple of big Kolkata derbies by providing assists with his superb delivery from set pieces. Renedy has been a key member of the Indian team during Bob Houghton’s tenure but since the 2009 Nehru Cup he has not been a regular in the first eleven because of the problems he has had with injury. His best individual moment so far in the Bob Houghton era was without the doubt the delightful curling free kick he scored against Syria in the 2009 Nehru Cup final.

After representing India in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup, he agreed a contract with Baichung Bhutia’s own club United Sikkim FC in I-League 2nd division. On January 16, 2011 Singh had officially signed for Shillong Lajong of I- League.
