The 2017 Bhutan National Leaguetitle triumph gave Tamang's CV a necessary kick which was missing earlier in his career.[6]

" I am happy that we won the title. Among all the moments in the league, that feeling when I scored against Thimphu City was amazing. I hope I will be called back to play for the club again"
