The
Jalandhar-born
footballer
had
played
a
key
role
in
Rajasthan
United
FC’s
triumph
in
the
I
League
Second
Division
in
2021.
“Since
I
started
playing
football,
playing
in
the
ISL
has
always
been
my
dream
and
today
with
God’s
grace
that
has
turned
into
reality.
I’m
thankful
to
Chennaiyin
FC
for
placing
their
trust
in
me.
“I
assure
the
club
and
the
fans
that
I’ll
do
everything
I
can
to
take
the
club
to
new
heights.
Looking
forward
to
the
season,”
Gurmukh
was
quoted
saying
by
the
CFC
Media
after
putting
pen
to
papers.
In
his
debut
I
League
season
last
year,
Gurmukh
spent
900
minutes
on
the
pitch
in
10
games.
He
also
featured
in
six
championship
stage
matches
for
them.
A
product
of
East
Bengal’s
youth
academy,
Gurmukh
is
the
second
defender
to
join
the
Marina
Machans
this
summer
after
Monotosh
Chakladar,
who
was
signed
by
the
club
last
week.

Chakladar
Gurmukh,
who
was
also
part
of
Minerva
Academy
FC’s
set-up
in
the
past
but
did
not
get
a
game,
made
his
professional
debut
for
Rajasthan
United
FC
in
2021
and
went
on
to
play
22
matches
for
them
across
competitions.
“Gurmukh
Singh
is
a
great
addition
to
this
squad.
We
know
that
he
has
played
a
huge
role
in
Rajasthan
United’s
I-League
season
that
finished
with
the
second
best
defensive
record
in
the
league.
I
would
like
to
welcome
him
to
the
Chennaiyin
family,”
said
CFC
co-owner
Vita
Dani.
Gurumukh
is
the
sixth
signing
of
Marina
Machans
in
the
summer
transfer
window,
where
they
have
been
very
active.
ISL
Transfer
Watch:
Chennaiyin
sign
Sourav
Das
from
SCEB
Earlier,
the
Yellow
Brigade
had
signed
Sourav
Das
from
ISL
rivals
East
Bengal,
young
Manipuri
midfielder
Yumkhaibam
Jiteshwor
Singh
from
I
League
outfit
Neroca
FC,
Bengal
captain
and
defender
Chakladar,
Vincy
Barreto
(from
ISL
rivals
Kerala
Blasters)
and
Alexander
Romario
Jesuraj
(from
FC
Goa).
In
the
2021-22
ISL
season,
CFC
finished
eighth
in
the
table
and
failed
to
make
it
to
the
play-offs.
Singh
had
been
impressive
for
Rajasthan
United
FC.
They
started
the
ISL
2021-22
season
under
Bozidar
Bandovic
before
the
well-travelled
Montenegrin
coach
and
the
club
decided
to
part
ways
midway
through
the
campaign
following
a
string
of
poor
results.
Ex-India
international
Sabir
Pasha
then
took
over
the
Yellow
Brigade
on
an
interim
basis.
