FC Goa have signed Indian international Adil Khan on loan from Hyderabad FC for the rest of the season.
Possessing the ability to play both in the midfield as well as in the backline, the 32-year-old adds both depth and quality to the Gaurs’ backline.
Speaking on his arrival to FC Goa, Adil Khan said, “Being from Goa, FC Goa is a club that has always been close to my heart, and finally the circumstances were exactly right for the move to happen.
“I am not only going to my hometown club, but it is also one of the biggest clubs in the country and their track record shows it all. Being a Goan, playing formerly in a team with a similar style and having known the players, I believe I can make a real mark on the team. I can’t wait to put on the FC Goa shirt.”
FC Goa Director of Football Ravi Puskur also welcomed the new Gaur, saying, “We’re pleased to bring Adil on board to FC Goa. He’s a player who comes with a proven pedigree and will add to the team his leadership qualities as well. I’m sure he’ll be an asset for the team going into the second half of the season and in our maiden adventure into Asia.”
The Goan is the second signing for the Gaurs in the January transfer window, following Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem’s arrival earlier this month on a three and a half year deal from ATK Mohun Bagan.
