Club career

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]

During the 2021 Bhutan Premier League, Tshering converted a controversial penalty against Paro Rinpung FC, leading to the opponent players aggressively confronting the referee. The game raised questions about the sportsmanship of the Rinpung players and the decision of the referee.[2]

International career

Tshering represented Bhutan at youth level at both the 2019 South Asian Games and the 2016 AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers.[1][3]

On 5 September 2017, he made his senior national team debut against Palestine, at the 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification – third round.[4]
