After spending his first year on loan at Sudeva Delhi in the 2020-21 season, Ayush suffered an unfortunate injury that kept him on the sidelines for the next 12 months.
The 20-year-old forward made a spirited comeback as he returned to the Islanders’ set up, debuting for the first team in the 2022 Durand Cup.
Ayush asserted himself as a player to watch out after showing flashes of brilliance the Islanders’ highly successful league campaign last season, winning the Indian Super League Winners’ Shield 2022-23 in record-breaking fashion.
The 20-year-old also featured in Mumbai City FC’s all-Indian squad in the 2023 Super Cup, where he shone bright scoring the sole goal in a 1-0 win against Chennaiyin FC.
Following the contract extension, Ayush Chhikara said: “My time so far at this club has been an incredible learning opportunity for me, and I am thrilled to extend my journey with Mumbai City FC.
“Being a part of this team, being around such talented teammates and working with someone like Des Buckingham is a true privilege. The club has supported me unconditionally and I want to repay their faith in me, scoring as many goals as I can every time I wear the badge.”
Head coach Des Buckingham said: “Ayush has worked extremely hard over the past 12 months, making his debut and scoring his first professional goal as a result.
“He possesses a lot of unique and positive attributes for a young, domestic centre forward and is an exciting player with excellent potential. Ayush is another player that has trusted our club with his development for the next three years and I am looking forward to seeing where we can go together.”
