The defender joined Mumbai City FC in August 2021 and made 78 appearances for the club across all competitions.

“Reflecting on my incredible journey here, my heart is filled with gratitude and cherished memories. From the moment I joined this club, I was embraced by an amazing team, dedicated support staff, and the most passionate fans a player could ask for. And together, we have celebrated victories, overcome challenges, and created unforgettable moments on and off the pitch,” Bheke wrote on his social media handle, expressing his gratitude to the support staffs and fans.

Bheke gave his gratitude to all his teammates for supporting him on and off the pitch during this tenure.

“To my teammates, thank you for your unwavering support and the relentless spirit you brought to every match. It’s been an honor to share the field with such a talented group of individuals. Each one of you has contributed to my growth as a player and as a person,” he stated.

The defender played for the Islanders in the ISL, the Durand Cup, the Super Cup, and the AFC Champions League.

Bheke also thanked the coaches, and the support staff for their unwavering backing throughout his stint.

“To the coaches and the entire backroom support staff, thank you for all your guidance, dedication, and support. Special mention to Suhas Kandekar for tirelessly looking after me and taking care of me and my injuries and having me match-ready every time,” he added.

The 33-year-old veteran also shared a message for the club’s fans, “Your energy & enthusiasm have been our driving force. Your chants, cheers & unwavering support have meant the world to us.
