It was in the year 2010 that Uttam was selected to join IMG Soccer Academy in Florida alongside 14 players from the then India U-16 national side. The following year he participated in the Dallas Cup for the junior national team but his play time was cut short owing to an injury.
In 2012, having netted six goals in only four games during the 2012 AFC U-16 Championship qualification, Uttam was named as one of the Top 10 Players To Watch Out For during the 2012 Dallas Cup.
Uttam’s new side Mohun Bagan is expected to start its CFL campaign in the second week of August.
