Debjit Majumder signs a two-year contract with East Bengal FC

Goalkeeper Debjit Majumder joined Emami East Bengal FC on a two-year contract that will be active until the end of the 2025-26 season.

This will be Majumder’s third stint with the Red & Gold Brigade after he previously represented the club in the 2011-12 and the 2020-21 seasons.

East Bengal FC Head Coach, Carles Cuadrat said, “Debjit has been a highly experienced goalkeeper in the ISL and the I-League. I know him from my early years in India, around 2016, and since then he has been performing with solidity and a great personality. His work-rate will add more value to our goalkeeping department and strengthen our defensive levels.”

Majumder had an exceptional 2023-24 season, accumulating 1,980 minutes of playing time and registering five clean sheets across 19 ISL, one Kalinga Super Cup and two Durand Cup matches. The Uttarpara-born custodian played a key part in helping Chennaiyin FC reach the playoffs and recorded the best saves-per-match ratio (66 saves in 19 matches – 3.47) in ISL 2023-24 (minimum 50 saves). Last season, Majumder also set the record for making the most saves (11) in a single match in ISL history.
