Rohit Kumar started his professional career with now-defunct I-League outfit DSK Shivajians during the 2016/17 season. In the subsequent season, Kumar jumped ship and joined ISL club FC Pune City. He was with the Pune-based club for two years until the club wound down after the 2019/20 ISL season, after which he moved to Hyderabad. Kumar spent only one season with the Nizams before joining Kerala Blasters.
Kerala Blasters had a poor outing in the 2020/21 ISL season where they finished second from the bottom on the points table with 17 points from 20 matches.
Bengaluru FC too had a season to forget as they finished seventh on the points table, their worst league standing in history. Since joining the ISL in 2017/18, this was the first time the Blues did not make it to the play-offs.
Rohit Kumar will be Bengaluru FC's first signing this summer and the young midfielder will hope to get more game time with the Blues next season.
