Thereafter, he went on to represent FC Pune City in Hero ISL 2016, playing 10 games for the Stallions. He was picked up in the Hero ISL 2017-18 draft by debutants Bengaluru FC, for whom he impressed immensely which prompted the club to hand him an extension. Bheke shone even brighter in the 2018-19 campaign, defending with poise and pitching in with an assist and three goals, including the title-winning header in the final against FC Goa.
