With this deal, the 24-year-old will continue to feature for the club he joined in 2016 until the summer of 2024.
Since joining the Marina Machans, the Dehradun-born footballer has been an integral part of the team’s set-up, playing a significant role in Chennaiyin FC’s success over the years including playing two ISL finals, winning the title once in the 2017-18 season.
“Thapa came here young. And in that time, he’s won an ISL title, established himself as one of the best in the country and also captained Chennaiyin FC for a season,” said Chennaiyin FC co-owner Vita Dani.
Thapa came in as a development player for Chennaiyin FC after spending four years at the AIFF Elite Academy from 2012 to 2016.
“Chennaiyin FC has always been like a family to me. And Chennai, my home. So, this decision was not hard to make. I cannot wait to get started with the fans cheering in a packed Marina Arena,” Thapa expressed his excitement.
