On 23 December 2021, it was announced that Sreekuttan, along with Abdul Hakku would join the defending champions of the I-League, Gokulam Kerala on loan for the 2021–22 I-League season. [9] He made his debut on 3 March 2022 against NEROCA FC as a substitute for Ngangom Ronald Singh in the 46th minute, [10] which ended in a 0–0 draw. [11] He scored his debut goal for Gokulam against RoundGlass Punjab FC on 23 April 2022, where he came in as a substitute for Luka Majcen in the first half and scored the last goal of the game in the 84th minute which ended in a 2–0 victory Gokulam. [12] He scored his second goal of the season in a 4–0 victory over NEROCA on 3 May, where he again came in as a substitute in the early moments of the match, [13] as he netted the ball in the added time and secured the three-points for the Malabarians.
