He finished as the top scorer for Lajong during the 2011-12 I-League scoring 4 times. He then went on to make 23 I-League appearances for Lajong during the 2012-13 I-League season.
After spending 2 years with Shillong Lajong,Lyngdoh re-signed for Rangdajied United [4] and made his debut in the I-League on 22 September 2013 against Prayag United at the Salt Lake Stadium,playing the full match as Rangdajied lost 0–2. [5] He made 19 I-League appearances for Rangdajied.

[7] Eugene then scored his second goal in the 2014–15 Federation Cup semi-final against Sporting Goa in a 3–0 win. [8] Eugene kept up his high level of performances and scored Bengaluru FC's first goal of the 2014-15 I-League in a disappointing 1–3 defeat at home to Pune,with an outstanding finish. [9] He scored again,this time in the 4th round of the season against Royal Wahingdoh in a 4–0 away win in Shillong. [10] Eugene then created history by scoring Bengaluru FC's first ever goal in Asian continental club competition in an AFC Champions League qualifier against Johor Darul Ta'zim of Malaysia in a 2–1 loss,directly from a corner. [11] By scoring against Johor,he became the first player from an I-League club to score in all four club competitions in the season.

Vineeth on 24 April 2015 against Bharat FC. [16] Lyngdoh augmented his statistics for the season with an assist from a free-kick into the box for Sean Rooney to head home against Shillong Lajong in a 1–1 away draw. [17] On 17 May 2015,Lyngdoh assisted once and scored once against Salgaocar in a crucial 3–1 win for his team. [18] Lyngdoh was involved in the last goal his team scored of the season,in the final round against Mohun Bagan,in a title-deciding match,assisting John Johnson from a corner,but could't help his team win in the game that ended 1–1,and thus losing out on the title. [19] Lyngdoh was rewarded for an outstanding season,where he made 33 appearances in all competitions,scoring 9 times and assisting 16 times,when he was named Bengaluru FC Fan's Player of the Year and Player's Player of the Year, [20] as well as being named the 2014–15 I-league Midfielder of the Season. [21] Lyngdoh signed a 2-year extension to his contract that would keep him at Bengaluru FC until the end of 2016–17 season on 4 June 2015. [22]
Lyngdoh was signed by Indian Super League club Pune City on 10 July 2015 in the player drafts for Rs. 1.05 crore (US$214,431) for the 2015 Indian Super League. [23] [24] Pune City's manager David Platt praised Eugeneson for his technical ability and explained why the Pune-based franchise paid very high for his services. [25] On 28 September 2015,he was named the "Football Player Association of India"s (FPAI) player of the year. [26] Lyngdoh scored his first goal of the Indian Super League against FC Goa in his 5th game of the season,from a header in a 1–1 draw at Goa.
