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]
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]
In January 2024, Tshering joined Thai League 3 club Surin Khong Chee Mool FC.[3]
