The captain of the Indian national team in the FIFA U17 World Cup, the central midfielder represented Indian Arrows in 2017 before making a move to Jamshedpur FC a year later but was loaned back to the Arrows for the 2018/19 season.

Amarjit began his Hero ISL journey in 2019, back with Jamshedpur FC – for whom he made a total of 15 appearances before joining FC Goa at the fag end of the 2021 January transfer window on a multi-year deal.

The youngster made 2 appearances for FC Goa last season before appearing on 4 occasions for the Gaurs in their maiden AFC Champions League campaign in April.

Amarjit will now aim to get more regular first-team football with his move to SC East Bengal.
