Club career edit
In July 2020, Thimphu City FC signed Tshering, from Transport United FC with a transfer fee of Nu 250, 000. This was the highest transfer fee paid in Bhutanese football, according to the clubs president, Hishey Tshering. He was also the Most Valuable Player twice in the previous two seasons.[1]
