Playing career

Early career

Choosing football as part of his life, Bharti began his playing journey in goalkeeping position with his school team while his days in Nigeria.

[6] After spending two seasons, he moved abroad and attended trial for the Singaporean side Geylang International and broke into club's youth academy. [4] [9]

In 2014, he moved to Spain and joined youth academy of the La Liga club Real Valladolid.

[11] [12] [13] He later enjoyed training cum trial stints at youth sides of Eintracht Frankfurt, TSV 1860 Munich, FSV Frankfurt and SV Darmstadt 98. [14]

Senior career

In the midst of 2016–17 season, Bharti signed for then Portuguese League 3 outfit Sintrense after taking down the offer of joining Polish top flight club Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała. [15] [16] [17] He made his debut against Sporting CP B and appeared in thirteen league games under coaching of Luís Boa Morte, who described him "a very fast and athletic defender, with confidence and technique on the ball". [18] [7] After being scouted by Mexican club América, his move to Liga MX in Apertura 2018 season, was not done due to a serious knee injury, which ruled him out of action for couple of months.

Personal life

After I was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, I moved to Rome, Italy, in 2001 and stayed there till I was 7 years old. I was quite young then and due to surroundings in Italy I was aware of the beautiful game, but I still hardly played it and I only remember watching the Euro 2004 while I was in Italy. To be honest, Italy didn't contribute too much to my passion for football. After Italy, I moved to Nigeria and that was when the World Cup 2006 was taking place and living in another football crazy country like Nigeria, was when my passion started to slowly develop. So to sum it up, it was the World Cup 2006 that made me find passion for football.
