Kima began his career in Mizoram with Chanmari before joining DSK Shivajians in 2015.[1] He played for the club's youth academy and also played for the senior side during the 2016 Durand Cup.[2] He was promoted to the senior side before the tournament began.[3]

He made his professional debut for the club during their first I-League match of the season against Mumbai on 8 January 2017. He started and played the full match despite DSK Shivajians falling to a 1–0 defeat.[4]

Jamshedpur

On 23 July 2017, Kima was selected in the 9th round of the 2017–18 ISL Players Draft by Jamshedpur for the 2017–18 Indian Super League season.[5] After not playing a single game during the ISL season, Kima made his debut for Jamshedpur on 12 April 2018 in their Super Cup quarter-final match against Goa. He started and played only one half as he had to be substituted for goalkeeper Rafique Ali Sardar after Subrata Pal was sent off. Jamshedpur would lose the match 1–5 with four of the Goan goals occurring after Kima was subbed off.[6]

gollark: Ideally I would have something which fuzzily searches all existing pages as you type in a link for appropriate page names. However, it is actually quite difficult to do this.
gollark: With minoteaur™ (in theory (very theoretical theory)) you would simply hit /, type in the new page name, click/keyboard shortcut somehow "create new page", type your content, put in appropriate links by merely putting [[ ]] around the page name, and click "done".
