Career

Youth career

Hailing from Tivim, a village near the Northern Goan town of Mapusa, Prathamesh hardly had ambitions of playing as a professional footballer. In fact, like most Indian kids, he was more interested in being a cricketer, although he had shown qualities of a footballer early, making it to the Dempo U-16 team. However things changed when he represented Goa U-19 in the junior nationals. Playing against boys of same age group from other states, he realized that he has the potential to play along with the best in the country. Suddenly, he became motivated and focused more on Football. During this time he remained in Dempo youth team, represented them at U-19 level. He was also called up for India U-19 camp.[2]
