Early career: 2011–14

edit

Born inChandigarh,Jhingan received hisfootballtraining at theSt Stephen's Academy.[5]While with the academy, Jhingan helped the side reach the South-East Asian finals of theManchester United Premier Cup.He also represented theChandigarh state teamat the under-19 level, helping them win theB.C. Roy Trophy.[6]

After impressive performances for his state side and academy team, Jhingan received a call-up to attend trials atI-League 2nd DivisionsideUnited Sikkimin November 2011.[5]The trials were successful and he signed for the club the next month. Playing alongside formerIndia internationals,Bhaichung BhutiaandRenedy Singh,Jhingan helped United Sikkim earn promotion to theI-Leagueafter the2012 season.[5]

In a June 2020 interview, Jhingan said that he was rejected by many second and third division clubs in Kolkata. He said, "It was during the starting phase of my career. Back then I was looking for clubs and I appeared for quite a few trials at a number of clubs in Kolkata — even in the second and third divisions. But I was rejected by all."[7]

Jhingan made his senior professional debut in the I-League on 6 October 2012 in United Sikkim's first match of the season againstSalgaocar.Jhingan started the match and lasted the whole ninety minutes and scored the winning goal for United Sikkim as they won 3–2.[8]He then scored his second goal for the club on 18 November 2012 againstSporting Goa.His goal was the only one for United Sikkim as they lost 2–1.[9]Despite United Sikkim suffering from relegation at the end of the season and conceding a league high 63 goals, Jhingan was noticed to be a bright talent from the team.[10]In February 2013 it was reported that Jhingan was receiving interest fromChinese League Oneclubs and that he would head to China for trials.[11]However, selection into the India national team meant that Jhingan could not attend trials.[5]

After the2012–13 season,Jhingan signed a contract withIndian Super Leagueto eventually be part of the competition which was to start in 2014.[12]Despite struggling to sign a contract with anI-Leagueclub before the ISL began, Jhingan did reject an offer fromDempo."Dempo is a big club and to receive an offer from them in itself was a big thing for me. There is no doubt that being associated with the club and playing under coach Arthur Papas would have benefitted me as a player. However, I don't regret my decision," Jhingan said in an interview.[12]In November 2013 it was reported that Jhingan had signed withRangdajied Unitedon loan for the remainder of the season.[13][14]However, not long after, it was announced that Jhingan had instead signed forMumbaifor the rest of the I-League campaign.[5]He made his debut for the club on 7 December 2013 againstPune.Jhingan started the match and played for the whole match as Mumbai won 2–1.[15]

I’ve given my all to the club. I’ve played with stitches, concussions and muscle problems. Kerala Blasters will always remain a part of me.
