Punjab FC continue their retention drive by securing the experienced goalkeeper on a new two-year deal until 2028

Kolkata, June 20: Punjab FC continue their player retention drive by extending the contract of goalkeeper Arshdeep Singh. The 28-year-old keeper will stay at his home-state club after signing a new two-year deal.

After an impressive campaign, Arshdeep proved to be a reliable presence for the Shers throughout his first season with the club. The goalkeeper brings vast experience from India’s top flight, having previously represented FC Goa, Odisha FC, and Hyderabad FC (now Sporting Club Delhi) before joining Punjab FC ahead of the 2025–26 season. Also, the Mahilpur-born goalkeeper was part of the title-winning Minerva Punjab side in the I-League during the early stages of his senior career.

In 12 appearances, Arshdeep conceded 12 goals while keeping four clean sheets. With his accurate distribution, composed gameplay, and commanding presence in goal, he enjoyed an impressive season and played a key role in Punjab FC’s title-contending campaign.

His comments underline both his commitment to the club and his connection to his roots. With his future secured until 2028, Arshdeep will aim to continue being a key presence in Punjab FC’s pursuit of success.

After signing the new contract Arshdeep Singh said to the club “I am extremely happy to continue my journey with Punjab FC. Representing the club from my home state has been a special feeling, and I am grateful for the trust shown in me. I will continue to work hard and give my best for the club and the supporters.”

As clubs prepare to enter the new season, still facing uncertainty regarding commercial partnerships and the direction they will take. Discussions and meetings are ongoing as stakeholders work towards finding clarity. However, with the Durand Cup approaching and pre-season preparations underway, clubs have begun shaping their squads for the challenges ahead.

Even as some of Indian football’s biggest clubs keep a close watch on Punjab FC‘s players and coaching staff, the Shers have continued their retention drive. Amid all the developments ahead of the new season, Punjab FC announced another key renewal, securing an important figure in their last line of defence.
