Bose, who started his youth career at Pune FC, represented Sporting Goa and Mohun Bagan before joining Bengaluru FC last season. The left wing back was pivotal in Bengaluru FC's runner-up finish in the 2017-18 Hero ISL season. His exploits for Chhetri's men earned him a national call-up during the 2018 Intercontinental Cup held at Mumbai's Andheri Sports Complex.

Eventually, he made his debut in India's 5-0 win over the Chinese Taipei side. He started in all four matches for Team India and helped them claim the title in style, defeating Kenya 2-0 in the finals.

The Kolkata-born defender will don the Mumbai City FC jersey this season as he penned a two-year deal with the Mumbai outfit this June. With several star defenders not in the squad, the onus will be on the talented Bose to form a rock-solid defense at the back for Team India. The 23-year-old has all the credentials to excel at the SAFF Championship for the Blue Tigers.
