A year later he inspired Yarkhok United to qualify for the Manipur State League in 2019.

Yarkhok United defeated KIYC 4–2 over two legs in the final to become the first team from Ukhrul district to qualify for the Manipur State League in 2019. Horam was one of the players who registered his name on the scoresheet and was an influential figure throughout the season. His consistent performances convinced NEROCA to rope in the youngster.[1]
