Success with Aizawl FC
In 2017, Jayesh Rane joined Aizawl FC on loan from Mumbai FC. He made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw. He scored his first goal for Aizawl FC in a big match against Shillong Lajong. This goal helped Aizawl win and move to the top of the league table.
Aizawl FC stayed at the top and won the I-League title. This was a very special moment because Aizawl was the first club from the north-east region of India to win this championship. Rane was a very important player for the team, playing in every game.
Time at ATK
