Jeje made his debut back in 2011 for the men in blue and is considered as one of the blooming young talents in Indian football. Jeje, who plays for Chennaiyin FC had a decent start to his ISL career, scoring 4 times and claiming 1 assist in the first edition of the tournament. But the best of his performance came in the second edition, where he displayed his true class and helped Chennaiyin FC to win their maiden ISL trophy.

The man from Mizoram bagged 6 goals and had 4 assists to his name. He formed a strong partnership with fellow striker Stiven Mendoza and the duo became a nightmare for most of the opposition defenders. Unlike the first season, Jeje was seen more fit and muscular, which did play an important role in his successful campaign. After the ISL, Jeje continued his run of form, regularly finding a place in the score sheets for both his country and his club, Mohun Bagan.
