Potsangbam Renedy Singh or just Renedy Singh (born 20 June 1979 in Imphal, India) is an Indian former football player, who is currently assistant coach of FC Pune City of Indian Super League.

He has previously played for Mohun Bagan, East Bengal Club, EverReady SA and JCT FC. Recently his fellow team mate and friend Sunil Chhetri told the media that Renedy is the best midfielder in the country but also the most under-rated and unnoticed Indian footballer. Renedy and Sunil Chetri were prominent figures in JCT FC squad, they helped JCT FC finish second and third in National Football League 2006-2007 and I-League 2007-08. He has his roots to Sekmai, a well known Football hub. He is India’s very own dead-ball specialist and one of the most experienced members of the 2011 Asian Cup squad. Like many other current Indian internationals, Renedy is a graduate of the famous TFA academy in Jamshedpur. He spent six years there before signing his first professional contract with East Bengal in 1997. Renedy’s performances from midfield with the red and gold brigade earned him his first senior international cap in 98, when he was only 19.

By 2000, Renedy established himself as one of the best freekick takers in the country and was signed by Mohun Bagan. Arguably the best stage of his career was with the Mariners as he played an influential role during their 2001-02 National League triumph. Renedy’s ability to cross the ball with both feet made him a mainstay in the Indian national team, especially after his excellent displays in India’s 2002 LG Cup success.

Injuries saw a dip in his form and he incredibly joined Chirag United, then known was Everyday and were not in the top flight, in 2004 after leaving Bagan. However he continued to do well for the Indian team and was actually top scorer in India’s dismal 2006 World Cup qualification campaign with two goals. Renedy’s club career got revived after he joined JCT in 2005 as he helped the Phagwara-based club finish second in the National League in the 06-07 season.
