Harmeet Singh is a Norwegian international footballer who plays professionally as a defensive midfielder. He is nicknamed "The Norwegian Iniesta" by international media.
On 5 July 2012 it was officially announced that he would join Dutch side Feyenoord on a two-year contract with an option for a third and fourth season for a transfer fee of €300,000. In Rotterdam he will play with squad number 16 alongside fellow Norwegian Omar Elabdellaoui who came over on a season long loan from Manchester City. Singh stated that he was delighted to play for a team in which players like Dirk Kuyt, Robin van Persie and Roy Makaay played before. Singh made a total of seven appearances, six as a substitute during the 2012–13 season, and was an unused substitute in 23 matches.
