JOIN USThe 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. He has played twenty times for the BFC this season, making 19 starts and scoring two goals, both in the AFC Cup.
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.
"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."
BFC COO Mustafa Ghouse said, "Rahul is a versatile player and was one of our early picks in the ISL draft. We want to hold on to our best players and he has undoubtedly been one of the standout performers this season."
