Club career[edit]

Youth and early career[edit]

Born in Wabagai, Manipur, Nongdamba Naorem was part of the Minerva Punjab youth team. After the FIFA U-17 World Cup, Nongdamba Naorem was selected to play for the Indian Arrows, an All India Football Federation-owned team that would consist of India under-20 players to give them playing time, on loan from Minerva Punjab.[1][2] He made his professional debut for the side in the Arrow's first match of the season against Chennai City. He came on as an 86th-minute substitute for Edmund Lalrindika as Indian Arrows won 3–0.[3]

A month later, on 26 December, Naorem scored his first professional goal of his career against Shillong Lajong. Nongdamba Neorem took the ball on the wing, proceeded to beat three Shillong Lajong defenders to get into the box, and then went past one more defender before slotting the ball home past the goalkeeper as Indian Arrows won 3–0.[4]

Kerala Blasters[edit]

In 2018 he was signed by Kerala Blasters on a three-year deal. He then became the part of the reserve team of the Blasters that competes in the I-League 2nd Division.[5] After making 6 appearances there, he was loaned to Mohun Bagan for getting some playing time.[6]

Mohun Bagan (loan)[edit]

Naorem was one of the key member of Mohun Bagan's I-League winning campaign under Kibu Vicuna. He made 16 appearances for the Mariners and also scored two important goals.[7] The deal was done with the swap of Subha Ghosh from Mohun Bagan SG.

Return to the Blasters[edit]

In 2020, Kibu Vicuna took over the manager role at Kerala Blasters. He then also brought back Naorem from Mohun Bagan.[8] He made his debut for the Blasters against Mohun Bagan SG on 20 November 2020 which ended 1-0 in favour of Mohun Bagan SG.[9]

Mohun Bagan SG[edit]

On 29 December 2020, Mohun Bagan SG announced that they have signed Naorem from the Blasters on an undisclosed transfer fee plus the swap of Subha Ghosh.[10][11]

FC Goa[edit]

On 26 June 2021, FC Goa signed a deal with the midfielder Nongdamba Naorem.[12]
