After returning to his old club ATK (now ATK Mohun Bagan FC) he said, “I am really happy to come back to a club and city where I already have amazing memories. I have won with the club before and I would love to win again, this time in maroon and green. The fans are great and the Mariners have such a beautiful history which I am excited to represent.”

ATKMB are also looking to sign Indian central defender Sandesh Jhinghan, who is a free agent now after leaving Kerala Blasters FC. Now the inclusion of Tiri surely increases the experience and solidity of the defence of the defending champions. They are now ready to conquer the league again.
