After 5 Outstanding seasons with Royal Wahindoh Seityasen Singh was picked by Indian Super League Club Northeast United. The pacey winger made an instant impact in the Indian super league for the highlanders. With his pace, he was able to threaten opposition defenses. He was able to earn the emerging player award 4 times and score 1 goal. In a northeast united squad that was reliant on their foreign players, Seityasen Singh was a bright spark. His amazing performances earned him a much deserved national team call up.

The Royal Wahindoh star after his loan spell at Northeast United joined Goan side Salgaocar for the I-League and then penned a deal with Northeast United which brought him back to Guwahati for a second season. In his second season, the Winger was even sharper and hugely determined showing his attacking prowess with effective runs through the righthand side of the highlanders attack bagging 2 goals in 9 appearances. Northeast United yet again had an astonishing set of foreign players and they were yet again reliant on them for getting the goals. But like the previous season, Seityasen Singh proved his class by finishing as their top Indian goalscorer.

At Kerala Blasters Seityasen Singh was not a guaranteed starter as the Kochi based side already had local boys Rahul KP and Prasanth at their disposal.

He was able to score for the Blasters in their game against Indian super league New boys Hyderabad FC.
