On 1 September 2019, Singh moved to the Brøndby IF academy,[5] where he was including in their U19 team.[6] Singh was included in the newly established U20 team in May 2020, which was announced by director of football Carsten V. Jensen. He received a one-year contract extension as part of the new team, alongside fellow under-19 graduates Jacob Rasmussen, Emil Staugaard and Andreas Pyndt.[7]

On 20 December 2020, Singh first appeared in Brøndby's first-team matchday squad in their Superliga tie against Horsens, remaining as an unused substitute in the 2–1 victory[8] He would mostly appear in the U19 league that season, making 15 appearances in which he scored 12 goals.[1]

Singh made his professional debut on 25 July 2021, coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute of a 1–1 draw in the Danish Superliga against Viborg FF.[9][10] He scored his first senior goal on 23 September, in an 8–1 away win over Allerød FK in the Danish Cup.[11] Singh made his European debut on 9 December in the UEFA Europa League group stage match against Sparta Prague, coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute for Simon Hedlund in a 2–0 loss away at Stadion Letná.[12][13]

Fredericia[edit]

Singh signed a three-year deal with Fredericia for an undisclosed fee.[14][15] He made his debut for Fredericia in a 2–2 away draw against Nykøbing FC on the first matchday of the 2022–23 season, coming on in the 64th minute in place of Adam Jakobsen.[16] He twisted his ankle in practice a few days later and missed the next three games.[16] He returned in action on 17 August, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 loss to newly promoted Hillerød Fodbold.[17] On 26 August, Singh scored his first Fredericia goal, curling in a shot in the far corner to secure a 3–3 away draw against Fremad Amager at Sundby Idrætspark.[18]
