Saleel started his career at Tata Football Academy which is India's best footballing academy. He sadly though did not manage to graduate Tata but still went on to sign for Viva Kerala FC in 2007.[2]
While Saleel was at ONGC F.C. whom he signed for in 2008 he made a name for himself as well as establishing himself as one of the best young defenders in India. Although he only managed four games at ONGC FC it was Saleel's performance in the reserves that caught the eye of people.
On July 21 2011 Saleel reportedly signed with Kerala club Chirag United Club Kerala for the second time in his career. [3] He scored his first goal for the club on 24 November 2011 against Pailan Arrows on the I-League. [4]
After a great season for Saleel with ONGC FC in the I-League he was selected for the Indian U-23 football team which was to play two 2012 Olympic qualifiers against Qatar. He however did not feature in either match.[5]
