Earlier career[edit]

Club career[edit]

Earlier career[edit]

Before signing for Chennai City in the Indian top flight, upon some unsuccessful trials with various teams, he worked as an English teacher for monks.[6]

In 2018, he signed for Chennai City FC in the Indian I-League,[7] where he made one league appearance before joining Real Kashmir. On 9 March 2019, Chennai City beat former champions Minerva Punjab FC 3–1 to be crowned the 2018–19 I-League champions.[8][9] With Real Kashmir, he played in 2019–20 I-League season.[10]

Mumbai Kenkre[edit]

On 1 September 2021, Tenzin signed for Mumbai Kenkre ahead of the I-League Qualifiers. Though the team missed out on promotion to the I-League, they eventually replaced Chennai City after they failed to comply with club licensing regulations.[11][12]

On 4 March 2022, he made his first appearance in the I-League for the club, against his former club Real Kashmir, in a 1–1 draw.[13] He was awarded the Hero of the Match for his outstanding display against Rajasthan United, on 25 March 2022, in 0–0 stalemate.[14] The club finished in bottom after the phrase-1 and placed in relegation stage, achieved only 12 points and relegated to the 2022–23 I-League 2nd Division.[15][16][17] Later in September, Kenkre was reinstated on sympathetic grounds by the AIFF and allowed to participate in the 2022–23 I-League season.[18] They later went on to participate in Baji Raut Cup in Odisha, in which they reached semi-finals.[19][20]

International career[edit]

Samdup is a regular member of the Tibet national football team, a Non-FIFA international football team that represents Tibet. He appeared with Tibet at the 2018 CONIFA World Football Cup, one of few tournaments the team has ever competed in.[21]
