Mohammedan (loan)

[edit]

After the 2012–13 season ended, Maithani signed with IMG-Reliance to join their Indian Super League but due to objection from the I-League clubs in which they said they would not sign any players who joined the ISL it meant that Maithani would be without a club for a long period of time. Then, on 30 October 2013, it was announced that Mohammedan S.C. had broken that barrier when they signed Maithani on loan.[3]

Maithani made his debut for Mohammedan in the I-League on 24 October 2013 United S.C. at the Salt Lake Stadium; in which he came on as a substitute for Jerry Zirsanga in the 73rd minute as Mohammedan drew the match 0–0.[4]
