Rohit Chand Thakuri (Nepali: रोहित चन्द; born 1 March 1992) is a Nepalese professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Liga 1 club Persik Kediri and the Nepal national team.[2] During his teenage years, Chand was heavily linked to clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham, and Lille.[3] Chand was awarded The Best Player of The Year in Liga 1 2018 (the highest level of Indonesia football competition) as well as becoming champion with Persija Jakarta.[4]

Early years

Rohit Chand Thakuri was born in Dailekh, Nepal. He started playing football at the age of eight with his brother Rabin Chand Thakuri, who is also a semi-professional footballer. At the age of 13, he was selected for ANFA academy.[5] Chand's tour of Iran with the U-16 national team in 2008 was the turning point of his career. At the age of 16, Chand was called up to the senior national team even though he had not played any games at the club and U-19 level. This allowed Chand to propel his professional football career quickly in Nepal.[6]

Club career

Machhindra F.C.

Chand's first professional club in Nepal's top flight was Machhindra. Chand's play had brought him four Man of the Match awards during the league campaign and his play at the back had been one of the highlights of Machhindra's season. The young stopper has led a defense that doesn't leak too many goals, but he also can be a threat moving up the pitch. Chand had shown his leadership qualities and captained Machhindra. He was awarded best defender of the year award for his spectacular play during the 2067B.S.(2010–11) league season.[7] Machhindra also reached the semifinals of the British Gurkha Cup that season.[8]

Chand training with HAL in 2011

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited SC

On 2 January 2012, it was reported that Chand had signed a 6-month contract with the club after trying his luck in Europe.[9][10] In April, Chand scored a hat-trick in I-League match but despite his efforts his team went on to lose the match. And his efforts were not enough to prevent HAL from relegation in the I-League. His contract at HAL expired in 2012 after they were relegated from the top tier of I-League.

Rohit has trained with the club for more than one and half months until 25 December 2013. He was offered with 6 months contract for reserved team as like Indian Goalkeeper Subrata Pal. Rohit's Manager Rabindra Chand denied the offer and placed Rohit to ISL club.

Rohit signed a year deal with Malaysian Outfit T-Team in January 2016.[15]

Return to Persija Jakarta

After a brief spell for local Nepalese club Manang Marshyangdi, it was announced that Chand had returned to Indonesian club, Persija Jakarta.[16] He signed a new two-year contract with the club and Rohit will be staying in Persija Jakarta until the end of 2022.[17] In his second spell at the club, Chand brought the club to win the 2018 Liga 1 season. It was Chand's first league title in his career. For that achievement, he was awarded as the Best Player of the Year.[4]

Chand left the club after the 2021–2022 season. He holds the record as the longest Asian foreign player to play for Persija Jakarta, serving the capital’s club in two periods (i.e. 2013–2015 and 2017–2022).[18]
