===Prayag United===
Pal signed for [[Prayag United S.C.|Prayag United]] of the [[I-League]] on 9 May 2012.<ref>{{cite news|title=Paul for United|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120510/jsp/sports/story_15473066.jsp#2|work=The Calcutta Telegraph|access-date=10 May 2012|location=Calcutta, India|date=10 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120708144324/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120510/jsp/sports/story_15473066.jsp#2|archive-date=8 July 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> He made his debut for the club on 7 October 2012 against [[Air India FC|Air India]] at the [[Salt Lake Stadium]] in [[Kolkata]], a match Prayag won 5–1.<ref>{{cite web|title=Prayag United 5–1 Air India: Ranti Martins’ hat-trick grounds the Airmen|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/93651/prayag-united-vs-air-india/report|work=Goal.com|access-date=19 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104091417/http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/93651/prayag-united-vs-air-india/report|archive-date=4 November 2012|url-status=live}}</ref>

Pal started off well in the [[2011-12 I-League]], impressing the new coach, however his form would soon wear thin. On 29 December 2012, Prayag United lost to I-League struggles [[Sporting Clube de Goa|Sporting Goa]]. The next seven matches from the afore mentioned defeat, his team lost 5 and drew once and this was enough for his coach to replace Subrata with [[Sangram Mukherjee]] in the remaining league matches of the season.

===Rangdajied United===

===AFC Challenge Cup 2008===
He was part of the victorious Indian National team in the [[AFC Challenge Cup 2008]].
His important saves especially in the finals helped India qualify for the [[2011 AFC Asian Cup]] for the first time in 24 years.

===Nehru Cup 09===
He was also part of the victorious Indian National team in the [[Nehru Cup International Football Tournament 2009]]

===AFC Asian Cup 2011===
He was the goalkeeper for the Indian football Team in the [[AFC Asian Cup 2011]]. He made more than 35 saves in the whole tournament and has become one of the stars of the team since. After the game against South Korea, he made the headlines by some leading newspapers who were calling him 'Spiderman', 'real MVP (Most Valuable Player)' and with headlines like 'Indian team GK, 16 times super-save! Who is this guy?'. To these references, he humbly said, "I am not a spiderman, just a novice learning my goalkeeping. I am happy that I have made those saves and done something for the team and country."
[[The Times of India]] said that Pal was the best performer among the Indians in the Asian Cup in Doha where they lost all their group matches. Had it not for Pal's heroics, India would have lost by bigger margins in all the three matches.

Subrata even captained the side in a warm-up practice match for this tie, which India won against Qatar 2–1.

India lost that game 3–0 as a result of two penalties and ultimately the tie 4–2.

===World Cup 2018 Qualifiers===

===Prayag United===
Pal signed for [[Prayag United S.C.|Prayag United]] of the [[I-League]] on 9 May 2012.<ref>{{cite news|title=Paul for United|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120510/jsp/sports/story_15473066.jsp#2|work=The Calcutta Telegraph|access-date=10 May 2012|location=Calcutta, India|date=10 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120708144324/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1120510/jsp/sports/story_15473066.jsp#2|archive-date=8 July 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> He made his debut for the club on 7 October 2012 against [[Air India FC|Air India]] at the [[Salt Lake Stadium]] in [[Kolkata]], a match Prayag won 5–1.<ref>{{cite web|title=Prayag United 5–1 Air India: Ranti Martins’ hat-trick grounds the Airmen|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/93651/prayag-united-vs-air-india/report|work=Goal.com|access-date=19 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104091417/http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/93651/prayag-united-vs-air-india/report|archive-date=4 November 2012|url-status=live}}</ref>

Pal started off well in the [[2011-12 I-League]], impressing the new coach, however his form would soon wear thin. On 29 December 2012, Prayag United lost to I-League struggles [[Sporting Clube de Goa|Sporting Goa]]. The next seven matches from the afore mentioned defeat, his team lost 5 and drew once and this was enough for his coach to replace Subrata with [[Sangram Mukherjee]] in the remaining league matches of the season.

===Rangdajied United===
Subrata signed for IMG-Reliance to play in the new franchise league, the [[Indian Super League]].<ref name=ISLSigning>{{cite web|last=Ghoshal|first=Amoy|title=I-League: Rangdajied United to loan Gouramangi, Subrata and three more IMG-R players|url=http://in.news.yahoo.com/league-rangdajied-united-loan-gouramangi-091836612.html|work=Yahoo News|access-date=20 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131204003740/http://in.news.yahoo.com/league-rangdajied-united-loan-gouramangi-091836612.html|archive-date=4 December 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> However, due to signing-up for the ISL, the [[I-League]] clubs refused to sign Subrata as they were all opposed to the Indian Super League,<ref name=ISLSigning/> but, on 20 November 2013, despite rejecting ISL signed players earlier, [[Rangdajied United F.C.|Rangdajied United]] of the [[I-League]] agreed to sign Pal along with fellow IMG-Reliance contracted players [[Gouramangi Singh]], [[Sandesh Jhingan]], [[Manandeep Singh]], and [[Tomba Singh]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Rangdajied Bolster Their Squad With National Stars|url=http://i-league.org/?p=9291|work=I-League|access-date=20 November 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202231641/http://i-league.org/?p=9291|archive-date=2 December 2013|df=dmy-all}}</ref> He made his debut in the [[I-League]] on 22 November 2013 against [[Shillong Lajong F.C.|Shillong Lajong]] at the [[Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Shillong]] in which he played the whole match as Rangdajied drew 1–1.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shillong Lajong vs. Rangdajied United 1–1|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2013/11/22/india/i-league/lajong-sc/arhima-club/1585344/|work=Soccerway|access-date=27 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109230809/http://int.soccerway.com/matches/2013/11/22/india/i-league/lajong-sc/arhima-club/1585344/|archive-date=9 November 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>

===AFC Challenge Cup 2008===
He was part of the victorious Indian National team in the [[AFC Challenge Cup 2008]].
His important saves especially in the finals helped India qualify for the [[2011 AFC Asian Cup]] for the first time in 24 years.

===Nehru Cup 09===
He was also part of the victorious Indian National team in the [[Nehru Cup International Football Tournament 2009]]
He was involved in three spectacular saves, and put the Cup back in India's hands. Due to his keeping, India won the final match 5–3 on penalties. He stopped the deciding shot on goal to help India clinch the Nehru cup.

===AFC Asian Cup 2011===
He was the goalkeeper for the Indian football Team in the [[AFC Asian Cup 2011]]. He made more than 35 saves in the whole tournament and has become one of the stars of the team since. After the game against South Korea, he made the headlines by some leading newspapers who were calling him 'Spiderman', 'real MVP (Most Valuable Player)' and with headlines like 'Indian team GK, 16 times super-save! Who is this guy?'. To these references, he humbly said, "I am not a spiderman, just a novice learning my goalkeeping. I am happy that I have made those saves and done something for the team and country."
[[The Times of India]] said that Pal was the best performer among the Indians in the Asian Cup in Doha where they lost all their group matches. Had it not for Pal's heroics, India would have lost by bigger margins in all the three matches.

===World Cup 2014 Qualifiers===
He was also the first choice goalkeeper for India in their World Cup Qualifier match against [[United Arab Emirates national football team|UAE]]. Subrata even captained the side in a warm-up practice match for this tie, which India won against Qatar 2–1. He could not repeat his heroics against the UAE side as he was sent off in the first 30 minutes, and India were reduced to 9 men. India lost that game 3–0 as a result of two penalties and ultimately the tie 4–2.

===World Cup 2018 Qualifiers===
He was named the captain of the [[Indian national football team]] by coach [[Stephen Constantine]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Subrata Pal named new captain by Constantine|url=http://www.chrispd.de/wordpress/2015/03/11/subrata-pal-named-new-india-captain-by-stephen-constantine/|publisher=Chris Punnakkattu Daniel|access-date=12 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402110038/http://www.chrispd.de/wordpress/2015/03/11/subrata-pal-named-new-india-captain-by-stephen-constantine/|archive-date=2 April 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> on 11 March 2015.
