Mumbai FC Thursday announced that Rahul Bheke had signed a contract extension with the I-League football club after impressive performances last season.
The 23-year-old joined Mumbai FC in January 2014 from Mumbai Tigers.
"Yes, Rahul is going to be a Mumbai FC player next season. It was a very easy decision. I was highly impressed with his performances and he shows a lot of intent in training. His dedication to football helps him and the team to perform even better. He is still only 23 and already has a good amount of I-League experience, said Mumbai FC head coach, Khalid Jamil.
Bheke, who made eight appearances for Mumbai FC last season, said: "I was really happy when Mumbai FC decided to sign me in January last season. I was confident back then that if I train hard with the team I will be rewarded with an extended contract. I am really happy to have proved myself to be a player at this club. I look forward to an exciting season ahead."
Bheke made his debut for Mumbai FC Jan 15 in the Federation Cup at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi as a substitute for N.P. Pradeep.
