Club career

[edit | edit source]

NorthEast United FC

[edit | edit source]

Singh made his professional debut for Indian Super League side NorthEast United on 1 March 2019 against Kerala Blasters on the last matchday. He came on as a 71st minute substitute for injured Pawan Kumar as NorthEast United drew the match 0–0.[1] He made his first start in a 2-1 loss against Chennaiyin FC in quarterfinals of Super Cup.[2] On 11 June 2019, he extended his contract for another season.[3] But he made no appearance in the season. In 2020–21 ISL, he made his first appearance coming as a half time substitute for injured Subhasish Roy Chowdhury in a 1-1 draw against FC Goa conceding no goal during his time in goal.[4] He got a run of gametime due to Chowdhury's injury and started in seven games keeping two cleansheets and returned to bench upon Chowdhury's return.

Hyderabad FC

[edit | edit source]

On 30 July 2021, Singh joined Hyderabad on a three-year deal.[5] He made his debut and only appearance of the season in a 3-0 loss to Jamshedpur FC where he started the game.[6] He was on the bench in the 2022 Indian Super League final where Hyderabad defeated Kerala Blasters 3-1 on penalties. This was young Gurmeet and Hyderabad's first ever major trophy.[7][8]

The following season, he missed the Durand Cup and opening seven games of the league due to an injury but became the first choice keeper upon his return due to Laxmikant Kattimani's knee injury which ruled the latter out for rest of the season.[9] He started his first game of the season in a 1-0 loss to Mohun Bagan.[10] In the league stage, he kept five cleansheets and conceded only nine goals in twelve games with Hyderabad finishing second in the league. In the semi-finals, both legs against Mohun Bagan ended in goalless draws with Hyderabad losing 4-3 on penalties.[11] On 17 April, he received his first professional career red card in the final seconds of the last group stage game of Super Cup against Odisha FC where he tried to deny Diego Mauricio a clear goal opportunity in a 2-1 loss.[12]

Return to NorthEast United

[edit | edit source]

In March 2024, due to Hyderabad failing to pay his salary for multiple months, was given permission to terminate his Hyderabad contract. After getting clearance for his termination, he re-joined NorthEast United on a 4.5-year-deal, valid until the end of the 2027-28 season.[13]

Gurmeet made his second debut for NorthEast on 7 March 2024, starting in a 1-0 loss to Punjab FC.[14]

International career

[edit | edit source]

In May 2023, he received his maiden national call up ahead of 2023 Intercontinental Cup and 2023 SAFF Championship after injuries to Vishal Kaith and Phurba Lachenpa.[15] He remained as the third choice behind Gurpreet Singh Sandhu and Amrinder Singh and was on the bench in all the matches as India went to win both the tournaments. He was selected for 2022 Asian Games.[16] He made his India U23 debut in the first match against China U23 which ended in a 5-1 loss.[17] Despite the loss he was praised for his performance as he managed to save a penalty from Zhu Chenjie.[18]
