Career
After becoming Champions, he joined Milan Samity in 2006 and played in Calcutta Football League 1st Division B group. Then he joined George Telegraph S.C. where he played for a couple of seasons. While in George, he was settled down nicely in the left back position by coach Raghu Nandy. In 2007, George Telegraph defeated East Bengal 3–1. Saha played a vital role in that match. The next year, they defeated both East Bengal and Mohammedan S.C. in Calcutta Football League to finish in 3rd position. He also represented West Bengal in Santosh Trophy. Where they finished runners up, losing to Goa in tie-breaker.
Mohun Bagan
He joined Mohun Bagan in 2009. Since he had a very good season in George Telegraph, he got an offer from Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and Chirag United, but he chose to join Mohun Bagan, because all his family members were supporters of the club.
He first played for Mohun Bagan in the semi-final of the 2009 IFA Shield against Chirag United. They were down to 10 men within the first 10 minutes and eventually won the match in the tie breaker. He came as a replacement for Nallappan Mohanraj in the extra time.
Salgaocar

The last time when Salgaocar won the Federation Cup, Shabbir Ali was the only Bengali player in their team. Incidentally, in the year 1987, Salgaocar defeated East Bengal 2–1 to lift the title whereas in 2011 they defeated the same team 3–1 to win the 2011 Indian Federation Cup.
