Mumbai FC head coach Khalid Jamil confirmed this news, “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.”

Bheke, who made 8 appearances for Mumbai FC last season, said, “I was really happy when Mumbai FC decided to sign me in January last season.
