Irom Seityasen Singh (born 12 March 1992) is an Indian footballer who plays mainly as a winger for NorthEast United in the Indian Super League on loan from I-League club Royal Wahingdoh.
Career
Royal Wahingdoh
On September 19, 2011 Seityasen made his professional debut in the Federation Cup against Churchill Brothers for Royal Wahingdoh who were then in the I-League 2nd Division. The Royals created a major upset beating their fancied rivals 2-1 with Seityasen captaining Wahingdoh, and scoring the first goal. He was then an important part of Wahingdoh's 2011 I-League 2nd Division squad where they qualified for the final round but failed to qualify to the I-League in the final round.
He then participated in the 2012 I-League 2nd Division for Wahingdoh, where he scored twice in the group stages thus helping his team qualify to the 2012 I-League 2nd Division Final Round again. In the final round, it is only known that Seityasen appeared 8 times scoring thrice, but could not help his side gain promotion.
In the 2013 I-League 2nd Division, he scored thrice but could not help his team qualify for the final round in a disappointing season. Finally, during the 2014 I-League 2nd Division, he scored three times to help his team qualify for the I-League.
Seityasen played his first game of the new season in the Federation Cup against Mumbai in a 2-1 win. He would then make his I-League debut against Shillong Lajong and scored his first goal of the 2014-15 season from a Jackichand Singh assist in a match they won by 2-1 scoreline.
On 27 January 2015, he scored the winner against Bharat FC in the 64th minute to give his side third win in a row. The young winger scored his first hat-trick in the I-League on 3rd May, 2015, when he netted thrice against Salgaocar F.C. in a match played in Shillong. Royal Wahingdoh won the tie 4-2.
