Sandeep Patel is a 23-year-old midfielder with a unique background. Born in Islington, London to Indian parents, Sandeep rose through the ranks at Chelsea's academy before embarking on loan spells at several lower-division clubs. He was released by the Blues and he took advantage of the opportunity to sign for Bengaluru Phoenix FC. He’s settled well and is a good squad player for his new team, adding an aerial presence to the team even though he’s not the tallest player.

He once attended a Foo Fighters concert with teammate Sinan Kara, before reaffirming that he has no interest in rock or grunge music.
