Known for his defensive discipline and tactical adaptability, Roshan is widely regarded as one of the most promising young defensive prospects emerging from the Manipur football circuit.
Early Career & Development
Born on January 2, 2007, in Manipur, Roshan’s footballing journey was shaped in the region's elite youth setups. He honed his fundamental skills at the renowned Classic Football Academy (CFA) before stepping into the national spotlight through the AIFF youth leagues and representing India at the U-19 and U-23 international levels.
Professional Journey
Roshan’s professional transition saw him move from academy football directly into the spotlight of Indian football's elite. His consistent performances and maturity earned him a move to the City of Joy, joining Mohun Bagan Super Giant. He has already been integrated into the senior environment, featuring in prestigious competitions like the Durand Cup and the AFC Champions League Two squad.
Breakthrough and Potential
His breakthrough came during the 2025-26 period, where he established himself as a high-potential asset for the Mariners. His rare profile as a young, right-footed defender who can operate effectively as a Left-Back or Centre-Back has made him a key part of the club's long-term vision, secured by a contract running until 2027.
Playing Style
Roshan is characterized by his "tenacity and recovery pace." A modern defender, he excels in 1v1 situations and building play with precise passing.
